I just recently learned of HAL, which is related to this thread (author CC'd):

http://stateless.co/hal_specification.html
http://blog.stateless.co/post/13296666138/json-linking-with-hal

I do like the concepts and agree with Gary that we take a closer look at JSON schema and HAL.

Brainstorm: The current OCCI JSON draft spec is close to these, I think (e.g., links). If needed, we could divide the spec into two parts, one on a generic JSON core model, and the second one that extends it for the domain specific OCCI JSON rendering.

Hi,

Now that JSON is moving along it way, I'd like to suggest the adoption of JSON schema as a method to augment the JSON specification. The website is located http://json-schema.org/ The discussion the group on google is json-schema google group

The scheme bring the JSON representation a few new capabilities including validation, and a new ability to deliver OCCI compliance profiles.

There is an expired RFC for json-schema, but there is progress being made, evident on the discussion forum.

If this group agrees json-schema is a worth while technology for OCCI, we can start a closer examination for applicability to OCCI.

cheers,
