Rather than allowing resource shape constraints to be optional (SHOULD) in all circumstances, the following proposal will constrain implementations further when the resource satisfies the shape.
https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oslc-core/trunk/specs/resource-shape.html#associating-and-applying-shapes
The proposed change is to add the following paragraph at the end of the clause:
If a resource satisfies its applicable shapes, client and server implementations MUST behave as described in the defining OSLC specifications. If a resource does not satisfy its applicable shapes, implementations SHOULD attempt to complete the operation with the given data if possible. Otherwise implementations MAY reject the operation. |
