UCR

Requirements must be approved for Conneg and Profiles

From last week:

  • antoine to re-write requirement from ID46 "Profiles can have rules for data value validation, including pick lists [ID46] (5.46) [profile]" DONE:
    • Requirement: Profiles may provide lists of values to pick from in order to populate data elements [ID46] (5.46)
  • kcoyle re-write Requirement: Profiles should be able to indicate what external standards are expected to be applied to the data provided. [ID42, ID43] (5.42, 5.43) [profile] DONE:
    • Requirement: There needs to be a property in the profile where the rules for the descriptive content can be provided. This would apply to the entire profile. [ID42] (5.42)
    • Requirement: Profiles should be able to indicate which external standards are expected to be applied to values of individual properties. [ID43] (5.43)


For Approval (Profiles):

Representation and distribution

  • Requirement: Profiles may be written in or may link to a validation language (ShEx, SHACL, XMLschema). [ID41] (5.41) [profile]
  • Requirement: Profiles may be coordinated with validation schemas. [ID48] (5.48) [profile]

Querying and discovery

  • Requirement: Clients should be able to determine which profiles are supported by a server, and with which content types. [ID2] (5.2) [conneg]
  • Requirement: There should be a way for a client to look up additional information about a profile. (What kinds of information? Can we clarify this?) [ID2] (5.2) [conneg]
  • Requirement: Profiles offered by a service must be discoverable through a machine-readable graph of metadata that describes what is offered and how to invoke the offered profiles. [ID5] (5.5) [conneg]
  • Requirement: Profiles must support discoverability via search engines (UC 5.40) #222 (Github discussion) [ID40] (5.40) [profile]

Identification, versioning, linking and resolution

  • Requirement: profiles must have identifiers that can be served with a response to an API or http request. [ID2] (5.2) [conneg]

Reuse, composition, and compatibility

  • Requirement: Profiles can be modular, with a given response made up of more than one module. Servers can indicate that a response conforms to multiple, modular profiles. [ID3] (5.3) [conneg] [profile]
  • Requirement: Need a way to express compatibility between profiles [ID37] (5.37) [profile]

Inheritance, conflict resolution and evaluation Requirements dealing with the inheritance behaviour of composite profiles including rule precedence, conflict resolution and evaluation of defaults and user configurations. Depending on the representation of the profile this might be an explanatory document or an algorithm.

  • Requirement: "Profiles may add to or specialise clauses from one or more base specifications. Such profiles inherit all the constraints from base specifications.” [ID37] [ID39] #238

Note: Conneg group should review conneg requirements; see if profileDesc functionality and conneg are adequately covered
