Translating foreign resources
by Gary Mazz 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi, An issue came up of translating foreign resources between providers.. There are two (3) use cases: 1) we have a provider that has a unique network, defined as a IPNetworkingMixin. Another provider doesn't support that Resource.. 2) We have 2 providers, each provider has a unique network, defined as a IPNetworkingMixin. The operation of the networks is different between providers, their name spaces overlap. 3) We have a provider and they would like to transcribe the IPNetworkingMixin, but the resource class is know to be in an overlapping name space. We have 4 questions: Q1) How do we identify the name space of the originating Mixin A1) The name space is provided by the scheme associated with the resource Q2) There is not enough information in the scheme to translate the resource.. A2) No clear practice Q3) If we translate another providers Mixin, what do we export, the original mixin definition, our translated mapping or both ? A3) No clear practice Q4) If we export both our resource and the original mixin, how do we link them together? A4) No clear pratice Suggestions: Q2: We need some hints? Maybe a pointer to a super class ie derived class "IPNetworkingMixin", super class "Neworking". Looking for some suggestions cheers, gary

DMTF work register elements - response requested
by Alan Sill 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

OCCI-WG: What elements do you want to see in the revised OGF-DMTF work register? What should be exposed there, what milestones can be drawn, and what do you want to see remain in the open OGF process? (If possible, can you please be specific in terms of milestones and specific work items.) Since this is a public list, feel free to send your suggestions directly to Thijs or me, or discuss them in any subgroups in any way before sending them in. We do need a quick response, though, since this has to go to the OGF and DMTF boards and that process will take time, so the quicker we get your responses, the faster we can proceed through the whole process. (If you have sent a response already, I should have that in my e-mail, so you don't need to repeat it unless you have other thoughts, which are welcome.) Thanks! Alan

Its all about Location, location, location
by Gary Mazz 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hi, The location is defined : Location paths tell the client where all resource instance of one Kind or Mixin (in case the Mixin is used as a tag) can be found regardless of the hierarchy the service provider defines. This language poses a problem in multi-tenant and where Kind/Mixins are placed in hierarchically managed name spaces. Stating the location is reference at the user's (consumer's) top level name space may be a clearer way of defining its role. cheers, gary

HTTP rendering doc out of public comment
by Thijs Metsch 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi @all, Public comment has ended for the HTTP rendering document and we received some comments. I would take care of cleaning up the document, and issues 2, 3. I'll also update the security sections on all documents accordingly. @Andy: can you handle 1, 5? @Ralf: Can you handle 4, 6? Issues which can be edited right away: 1. Add ANTLR grammar as appendix to HTTP rendering doc 2. Add note about actions on a filtered collection 3. update security sections 4. add filtering mechanism based on X-OCCI-Attribute 5. advertise the query interface using the /.well-known mechanism as described in RFC5785 [1]. 6. For consistency OCCI Core attributes should be rendered with "occi.core." prepended. For example 'summary' would be rendered as 'occi.core.summary'. I'm not sure about the following: * Only show mutable attributes in the query interface Thinks to do regardless of the document: * register text/occi Deadline: THIS FRIDAY (April 1st)!!!

HTTP Doc and Resource Updates
by Edmonds, AndrewX 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I'd be interested to hear how people currently implement updates to their various OCCI resources. Currently in the spec, it says to perform a PUT and supply _only_ the attributes that need to be updated. This works and is clear in changing or adding items such as attributes or mixins. However what is not so clear to me is how to handle an update that removes a mixin from an existing resource (e.g. I want to remove IP networking capabilities). One solution I suggest would be that the section on updating a resource allow for updating using both POST and PUT. In this case POST can modify (i.e. replace) a _part_ of the resource e.g. a particular attribute. PUT can replace the whole resource _representation_ and in doing so support the removal of items like mixins. Comments?
