Subject: OSLC Core WG review request: OSLC Actions & OSLC Automation 2.1


Hello,

The open-services.net OSLC Automation Working Group are near completion of the OSLC Actions 2.0 specification draft and the OSLC Automation 2.1 specification draft. Now they are ready for review by a wider audience.

The Actions specification is about advertising on any RDF resource any actions or operations that can be executed against that resource. For example, a change management request can advertise available state transitions, and deployed IT resources can advertise a "teardown" or "stop" action.

Please consider reviewing this specification and providing feedback to me.

The best place to start reviewing the Actions specification is the primer:
http://open-services.net/wiki/automation/OSLC-Automation-Primer/#OSLC-Actions

The OSLC Actions specification is here:
http://open-services.net/wiki/core/Actions-2.0

The OSLC Automation 2.1 specification is here, with changes temporarily marked "This is new for 2.1":
http://open-services.net/wiki/automation/OSLC-Automation-Specification-Version-2.1/

*** Please note that these specifications are currently under the IP policy of open-services.net, not OASIS. I can contribute copies of these documents to the OASIS TCs if any IP policy differences are a problem for anyone.***

OSLC Actions 2.0 will be contributed to the OASIS OSLC Core Technical Committee once it is finalized at open-services.net.
See the review request sent to the OSLC Core Working Group at open-services.net forwarded below for more information.

Sent by:        "Oslc-Core" <oslc-core-bounces@open-services.net>




Both the OSLC Actions 2.0 specification draft and the OSLC Automation
2.1 specification draft have entered convergence. I would like to
request a review of these specifications from the OSLC Core WG. (I will
also notify the new TC at OASIS.)



THE SPECIFICATIONS:


The Actions specification is about advertising on any RDF resource any
actions or operations that can be executed against that resource. For
example, a change management request can advertise available state
transitions, and deployed IT resources can advertise a "teardown" or
"stop" action.


The OSLC Actions primer and specification are here:

http://open-services.net/wiki/automation/OSLC-Automation-Primer/#OSLC-Actions
http://open-services.net/wiki/core/Actions-2.0

The Automation specification has been extended for three scenarios:
taking advantage of OSLC Actions to support the "teardown" or "stop"
example mentioned above; execution environments; and using Automation
Requests as templates.


The OSLC Automation 2.1 specification is here, with changes temporarily
marked "This is new for 2.1":

http://open-services.net/wiki/automation/OSLC-Automation-Specification-Version-2.1/

In both specifications there may still be a few lines of text in red,
which are notes to reviewers, or final items to clean up.



WHERE TO START:


Reviewing the Actions specification, being a new specification, is a
larger task than the Automation changes. Also, most of the changes in
Automation use the Actions spec. This is why I have listed Actions first
in this request.


The best place to start reviewing the Actions specification is the
primer:

http://open-services.net/wiki/automation/OSLC-Automation-Primer/#OSLC-Actions

(This is currently in the Automation primer, as it was developed mostly
by the Automation WG. This can be moved to the Core primer, or its own
primer, if that is more appropriate.)



VOCAB:


The Actions specification adds some terms to the Core vocabulary. I will
attach an updated RDF/XML vocab document (which should be accessible via
the archives), but they are listed in plain text here:

http://open-services.net/wiki/core/Actions-2.0#Changes-to-OSLC-Core-vocabulary


SCENARIOS:


Another place you could start is by looking at the scenarios that these
specifications enable.


The 3 scenarios enabled by the Actions specification are here:

http://open-services.net/wiki/core/Actions-2.0-Scenarios/

The 3 scenarios enabled by the Automation 2.1 specification are here:

http://open-services.net/wiki/automation/Automation-Scenarios-v2.1/


TIME SCALE:


Our expectation has been to leave two weeks for the Core WG review. If
you are interested in looking at these specifications but do not believe
you will be able to do so in that time frame, please let me know.


Thank you,
