[glue-wg] Comparison with CIM

Hi all, I don't know if anyone has been looking at this, but there's an emerging standard (through DMTF) in modelling "things" (computer-hardware and -software, network equipment, etc): CIM. There seems to be some cross-over here through OGF, so forgive me if this is already "well known". Anyway, for those who haven't heard of them, their schema makes for interesting reading. The current version (2.18) is available from: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/cim_schema_v218 "Device" (from which a StorageDevice may be published) http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/cim_schema_v28/CIM_Device28-Final.pdf How to publish ACLs: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/cim_schema_v218/CIM_Policy.pdf Enjoy! Paul.
