Afternoon all,
I've been looking at the various formats available for our representations and have added the following ones to OCCI Infrastructure. Now before you savage me for not including your favourite format or including one you don't like, bear in mind that this is just to give people suggestions as to formats which may be suitable, not recommendations as to which ones we prefer - that's for the market to decide. The exact wording is "The following representation formats are identified (but not necessarily recommended) as possible candidates for this kind".
