To add a bit more to my perspective on this: * I am very interested in what Sam is proposing * But do not understand it * I don't understand how it is consistent with HATEOAS but look forward to being shown * I would love to hear Tim B's view on this area On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 3:41 PM, Richard Davies <richard.davies@elastichosts.com> wrote:
Decision 3: For the core wire format(s), what meta-model should be adopted in rendering the nouns, verbs and attributes (i.e. a framework/style within which the nouns, verbs and attributes are rendered and any framework services are added): a) Minimal/no meta-model: Nouns, verbs and attributes are rendered as directly as possible over HTTP in a very basic REST style. b) GData meta-model: Nouns, verbs and attributes are rendered as GData objects and carried according to GData conventions with GData services. c) Other?
Important*: This is an independent decision from decision 4 on syntax
Perspective of myself and Alexis: For the core wire format, OCCI should minimize the meta model so that the specification of the core wire format is as small as possible, and hence interoperability between OCCI-compliant clouds is easiest to demonstrate, test and debug. _______________________________________________ occi-wg mailing list occi-wg@ogf.org http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/occi-wg
