Moving the Realtime Paged Data Specification to Final Specification

Hi,

We've just published a new Editors Draft of the Realtime Paged Data
Specification (RPDE) [1]. The specification provides a means of publishing
opportunity data that makes it easy for both publishers and consumers to
share data.

The previous version of the specification was produced early in the
OpenActive project and so we've not spent a create deal of time discussing
it within this group. However Nick Evans has been working closely with
publishers who are have been implementing the specification as part of
publishing their data. The specification has been revised and clarified
based on their feedback.

Currently there are 22 implementations of RPDE which are publishing open
data as part of OpenActive. 12 of those are publishing data according to
the Modelling Opportunity Data spec.

We also have some simple reference implementations in Azure [2] and Google
Apps Script [3]

We think this level of implementation experience means that the
specification is ready to move forward to Final Specification status
alongside the data model.

Can I ask that if you'd like to review and provide feedback on the latest
draft that you do so over the next week? We can then trigger the process to
move this to Final Specification status at the W3C.

Cheers,

L.
