James Amsden commented on OSLCCORE-44:
--------------------------------------

oslc:Resource is defined in the core vocabulary, but there are no shapes for it. I think this is related to OSLCCORE-43 I raised yesterday. The OSLC Core 2.0 Appendix A does define a bunch of properties that aren't part of any ResourceShape - they appear to apply to any resource. Property instanceShape is included in the list of OSLC related properties. None of these properties that aren't referenced from any ResourceShape have an occurs property.

Perhaps these should be properties of Resource ResourceShape. Then we would have a place for the dangling instanceShape property, and a context in which to express its cardinality.

> With a quick look on both Core 2.0 and the W3C member submission for Resource Shapes, it looks like neither mention whether a client can expect zero-or-one or zero-or-many instanceShape links from a resource.
> I would expect zero-or-many. As I can't see any problem with an instance having the properties from multiple shapes. This would help with the question about vendor-specific shapes raised on OSLCCORE-25 - as then the resources can include a link to both the vendor-specific shape and the OSLC TC-minted-URI for the a shape as defined in the spec.
> In v3.0 I think we should clarify this to state that a resource can specify zero or more instance shapes. (If we don't already & I missed it).
