             Summary: Should a config management service provider indicate the types of configuration items it selects?
                 Key: OSLCCCM-20
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OSLCCCM-20
             Project: OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration for Change and Configuration Management (OSLC CCM) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration Management
            Reporter: Nick Crossley
            Priority: Minor


The current draft spec has no feature that allows a client to determine the type or types of resources that might be contained in a configuration from a given service provider - as far as OSLC Config Mgmt is concerned, a configuration might select resources of any type.

This could be seen as a positive - providers are open to add new resources of any type at any time with no change to their service provider or service information. However, it does not help a client determine if a given configuration or configuration provider is one that contains a specific type of artifact, and such information might be useful in filtering selection dialogs, queries, etc.
