[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (CAMP-1) Need a way to get metadata for a particular resource

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

Alex Heneveld commented on CAMP-1:
----------------------------------

There are two levels going on:

- Attributes on a declared _type_ (e.g. if an impl extends the types, or adds fields to a spec type)
- Attributes on an _instance_ (which might have fields beyond the type, if we permit this)

For the former I would advocate a documentation link e.g. /apidoc declared in the platform resource, which returns api documentation for types.

For the latter I think the "list attributes on resource instance" operation should be addressed holistically with CAMP-42 where we may want to filter the list of attributes, get value only (not the field name), and more.

> The current spec does not provide a way to get metadata for a resource. Specifically, it would be a good idea to allow one to get the list of all the attributes for a particular resource (or resource type). This is important for supporting extensibility.
> This issue is related to https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CAMP-10 and https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CAMP-14
> [This issue was raised by Anish Karmarkar and was drupal issue # 1001]
