<gmc/> A common scenario is "label everything in my workspace with a
particular label"....
What does it mean "... everything in my workspace ..."?
<gmc/> Apologies ... I was being overly terse. I should have said
"label the revisions selected in my workspace for the members of a
particular collection".
Workspace has a set of working revisions checked out in context of this
workspace.
We would call them "working resources" (they don't become a revision until
you check them in). Note that only revisions can have labels, not
working resources.
Workspace has current activity, that has at least two different associations
with
resources: latest in activity and modified in activity.
Workspace has revision selection rule. This rule for each resource may define a
revision or nothing.
Does workspace have a set of resources loaded into it? I didn't find it in
specification (but I'd like to).
A workspace owns a set of working resources (the ones checked out into
that workspace), and a revision selection rule. A common implementation
for a workspace is to copy a bunch of files into a tree, and then redirect
requests for that workspace into that tree, but this is not required
by the protocol.
Cheers,
Geoff
