OSLC Core in whole and in part

[Jim Amsden <jamsden@us.ibm.com>]

During a discussion today, a question was
raised about the meaning of the different OSLC Core specifications. It
was not clear exactly what OSLC Core is. Is it:
1. All of the specifications - any compliant
server would be expected to implement all of the capabilities (including
those referenced from LDP).
2. Any of the specifications - a compliant
server could advertise only one of the core capabilities, e.g., Resource
Preview.

The OSLC Core Overview specification
should clarify that compliance to OSLC core means with respect to the component
specifications.

Perhaps we should include this as a
discussion item for the next meeting?
