One of the key requirements for a reporting consumer is what is being referred to as inlining. This was formerly named 'Self Contained XML' inlining - linked data should be inlined in the response to reduce the number of requests I believe that this description should be modified to avoid ambiguity and misunderstanding. I think most people will understand that definition as meaning the data from linked resources rather than its intended meaning of a full set of self contained data being returned for the initial query (vs the common OSLC model of atomic transactions) I suggest modifying this definition as below: inlining - all queried data should be returned inline in the response with no need for further HTTP GET requests Regards /Ben ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Williams Senior Product Manager - Rational Publishing Engine Email: [email protected] Tel: +44 20 8818 4360 Cell: +44 7710 637 067 IBM Extension: 364360 IBM ITN: 37364360 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
