Martin Sarabura commented on OSLCCCM-27:
----------------------------------------

The name, type uri are incorrect in https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/oslc-ccm/trunk/specs/change-mgt/change-mgt-resources.html#changeNotice
The Summary talks about authorization but there is another use case, where the change notice is used simply to designate a user who will be responsible for implementing the changes. This is not so much an authorization as an assignment. Perhaps "An assignment notification of a change request. May be used also to bestow authority onto the assigned user to effect the changes."
Also, some field descriptions refer to "this" change request - is this easy to change to change notice? I understand that in this case we can interpret "change request" as referring to the parent class. Which BTW when I look at the diagram in section 1 (Introduction) I see that change notice is not a child of change request.
Similarly the rdf:type description refers to change request not change notice.

> Notwithstanding issue #26 which I just posted, I feel that change notice should be added explicitly to the spec.
> There are two classes of type in the current spec: Request and Task.
> Requests include Change Request (which is also drawn up as the base type in the UML diagram), Enhancement and Defect.
> Tasks include Task (which is drawn up as the base type in the UML diagram) and ReviewTask.
> A change notice in certain tools is neither a request nor a task: It is an authorization to perform multiple tasks. Thus it is more of a "command" than a request and it is a container of tasks. Since it has a different meaning than the available Types and since it is found in a number of CM tools, I believe it should be listed as its own type.
