Folks, I've recently revised the OSLC Indexable Linked Data Provider 2.0 specification to allow TRS patches to be included on creation events as suggested by Arthur Ryman. It required defining a new optional property (trspatch:createdFrom) for locating the donor resource, as well as some wording changes in [1] and the additional of a second example [2]. This addition allows a versioned TRS provider to make effective use of the new feature when creating new immutable versions of resources. It does not invalidate either existing TRS providers or consumers.
I've also added a new section on General Guidance for Consumers [3] since that was missing, and made a few smaller additions to the existing guidance: - new item in General Guidance for Providers [4] re: sticking to subjects Provider is authority on - new paragraph at end of TRS Patch Guidance for Consumer [5] re: risks of TRS patches Please review and send comments and questions to this mailing list. ---Jim des Rivieres [1] http://open-services.net/wiki/core/IndexableLinkedDataProvider-2.0/#Additional-Change-Event-Properties [2] http://open-services.net/wiki/core/IndexableLinkedDataProvider-2.0/#TRS-Patch-Example-2 [3] http://open-services.net/wiki/core/IndexableLinkedDataProvider-2.0/#General-Guidance-for-Consumers [4] http://open-services.net/wiki/core/IndexableLinkedDataProvider-2.0/#General-Guidance-for-Providers [5] http://open-services.net/wiki/core/IndexableLinkedDataProvider-2.0/#TRS-Patch-Guidance-for-Consumers
