[OASIS Issue Tracker] (CAMP-192) resource model is inconsistent in how it expresses containment of other resources

Gilbert Pilz commented on CAMP-192:
-----------------------------------

Potentially related to CAMP-186 (https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/CAMP-186),  CAMP-188 (https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/CAMP-188), and CAMP-189 (https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/CAMP-189). However we address pagination, inlining, and filtering - we will need to do it consistently every where there are container->containee relationships.

> The 'assembly' resource contains an array of Links (named "components[]") that reference the 'component' resources that make up that assembly. The 'component' resource as an attribute (named "operations_uri") that references an 'operations' resource that contains an array of Links (named "operation_links[]") that reference the 'operation' resources for that component. These two methods of indicating containment ("this assembly contains these components", "this component contains these operations") are inconsistent. 
> This inconsistency makes it harder to right clients for the API.
> This is only one example of such an inconsistency. There may be others that should be processed in the context of this issue.
