Categories and Collections
by Andy Edmonds 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hey all, I've placed a write up of how categories and collections related to each other. Also there is how one can interact with collections. I've tried to keep the description as non-rendering-specific as possible. http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.occi-wg/wiki/Collections If there are comments etc please annotate the wiki page at the appropriate place or place your questions in the "Open Issues" section.

by Edmonds, AndrewX 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hey all, I've added an initial description of how authentication mechanisms can be discovered. It uses our already defined query interface so is merely but an extension to this feature of OCCI. http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.occi-wg/wiki/AuthMechDisco Andy ------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Ireland Limited (Branch) Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare, Ireland Registered Number: E902934 This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

Do we need both collections and templates ?
by Gary Mazz 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Now that we added tags to collections, it allows providers to associate proprietary meta data with a resource. Since templates are collections, templates seem to be redundant. Call for a new construct (template) for describing proprietary aspects of a providers implementation is a practice and shouldn't require a new occi construct. -gary

by Edmonds, AndrewX 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

I've added 2 scenario sets to the scenario page [1] that I have had hanging about on my filesystem. The renderings are in need of an update due to some changes in core but as they are in the wiki now, it'll be easy to update. http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.occi-wg/wiki/ScenarioSet1 http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.occi-wg/wiki/ScenarioSet2 Andy [1] http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.occi-wg/wiki/ExamplesUseCa seScenarios ------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Ireland Limited (Branch) Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare, Ireland Registered Number: E902934 This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
