James Amsden commented on OSLCCORE-10:
--------------------------------------

Martin, why is not having a DelegatedUIDescriptor with an oslc:dialog property consistent within OSLC 3.0?

Currently Preview has oslc:document and Dialog has oslc:dialog that point to the actual HTML dialog. 

Resource Preview: Clients use Compact resource properties smallPreview and largePreview to get the Preview resource, then use its size hints and oslc:document property to get the actual HTML preview dialog.

Delegated Dialog: Clients use link headers to get the creationDialog or selectionDialog, and then use its size hints and oslc:dialog property to get the actual HTML creation or selection dialog.

The proposal address these inconsistencies:
1. Compact would now only be about link representation (icon, label) and not be involved in any dialogs.
2. Clients use a link header to get any delegated dialog including smallPreview, largePreview, creationDialog or selectionDialog.
3. All these delegated dialog link headers point to a DelegatedUIDescriptor which has the size hints and oslc:dialog link to the actual HTML dialog, whatever it is actually being used for.

We may want to rename the current resource-preview.html to link-representation, and put all the dialogs in dialogs-v3.html since they are all about delegating the UI for viewing (GET), creating (POST), or selecting resources.

> Resource-preview uses Compact, Preview and oslc:document to manage previews. Compact defines the preview descriptor and contains properties for small and large previews. Preview contains the size hings and oslc:document link to the actual HTML preview dialog.
> Dialogs-v3 uses Dialog and oslc:dialog with different Link headers for the creationDialog and selectionDialog. 
> Should we consider normalizing these different approaches to dialog management?
