James Amsden commented on OSLCCORE-13:
--------------------------------------

Actually clarification from Chet indicates that an OASIS specification can have normative references to any document it wants subject to TC approval. He provided a list of questions that should all be answered yes in order to be a normative reference:
- Do we actually reference it in our specification? (You would be surprised how often we've sent feedback to a TC asking 'hey, you cite this in your references but we can't find a reference anywhere in the spec...') 

- Do we need to reference it? Is it true that you can't implement our spec without using the referenced work explicitly or implicitly? 

- Can we rely on it? Is it stable? Are updates and changes handled in a predictable and transparent way? Do updates and changes happen through a governed process or is it possible that this thing could changes on us without warning and with no assurances of backwards compatibility? 

- Does it live someplace where we can reliably reference it? If we cite to it, can we be certain that it will still be there this time next year? 

- Can our adopters get access to it either free or for a reasonable cost? If accessing it costs money, is there an alternative we can use that does not? 

Chet's recommendation: If you can answer 'yes' to all of these, then you can confidently cite it as a normative reference. If you can't, then you may want to do some further thinking. 

This means that OSLC Core 3.0 can continue to reference the existing open-services.net ResourceShapes specification in a normative way.

> 1. Section 5.3 Prefill, should oslc:resourceShape be ldp:constrainedBy to provide flexibility for how the dialog contents would be constrained? This would decouple dialogs from OSLC 2.0 Resource Shapes.
> Dialog property oslc:resourceShape is not sufficiently defined. It specifies the constraints for the dialog, but does not say how these constraints are specified in a standard way.
