Dear Jessica, related with your question, I would like to point you to VXDLforum (http://www.vxdlforum.org), an international community for developing standards for Virtual Infrastructures (VIs) modeling. By using this forum, you can find a description about VXDL, a language for modeling network and IT resources in a combined way, and interact with some projects and developers that are using VXDL for representing their VIs. VXDL is a language for facilitating the specification and the manipulation of VIs. The purpose of this language is to simplify the dialogue between users and providers by providing a grammar independent of the underlying physical substrate. As VXDL proposes a high-level description, I think it should be interesting in your context. Hope this forum can help you.

Hi,
I am currently working on a project looking at capturing networks in a tool agnostic way so that we can then easily migrate the networks onto different tools. I am interested in the outputs of your working group and what you decided was the best way to tackle this problem.
I look forward to hearing from you.
