I think it would be really cool to have an XML data-format for OCCI :)
Priority wise I would like to see the protocol vs data-format split first though.
Is there some draft on that topic ? I have some (early) draft about OCCI use with XMPP protocol. I may try to propose some ideas when I will implement the XML rendering on HTTP and XMPP. What other protocol are you thinking about ? websocket ?
When that is done the JSON spec could finally be released and an XML data-format would be much easier to accomplish as well.
Just my two cents.

You can certainly share with the group. I'm elaborating an answer, that I'll post to the group.

No harm: I'm really interested in contributing to OCCI specifications and I have no doubt we have another occasion to meet !
On my side, I have seen your spec about monitoring I consider a really important topic but I am now more focusing on core and renderings parts.

Mixin can also have their own attributes, isn't it enough ? Can you give me an example ? I must admit mixin is a concept I'm not really confortable with. I consider they should be use to add attributes to
a
resource when is does not make sense to have a separate id for it,
but
I may be wrong.

Ok, this is a problem not specific to mixins, IMO. Attributes typing
in
general should be more advanced in OCCI and, in particular, an attribute could be an OCCI type. My proposal does not handle yet this complex type, even if think it
is
necessary to handle it. As a quick draft of proposal, I think the following should work:
<occi:kind term="manifest" scheme="http://example.org/myschemas#" > <occi:rel term="resource" scheme="http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/infrastructure#" /> <occi:attribute name="nodes" type="occi:entityAttr" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" > <occi:rel term="compute" scheme="http://schemas.ogf.org/infrastructure#" /> </occi:attribute> </occi:kind>
.. my proposal is missing the definition of "entityAttr", which would be: <xs:complexType name="entityAttr" > <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="rel" type="occi:relatedType" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType>
We could then validate the following resource:
<occi:resource id="...." > <occi:kind term="manifest" scheme="http://example.org/myschemas#"
/>
<occi:attribute name="nodes > <occi:value>/path/to/compute/resource</occi:value> <occi:value>/path/to/another/compute/resource</occi:value> </occi:attribute> </occi:resource>
Of course, this would imply some code to implement it (it is not
pure
XSD), but the information is there.

I have never used RDF. Anyway, thank for the occasion to provide concrete example of
complex
attributes. Do you mind I forward this to occi-wg list for comments ?
