So sounds like the two options are pretty much the same. I'd be in favour of explicating the model. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Webb [mailto:chris.webb@elastichosts.com] Sent: 13 May 2009 17:09 To: Edmonds, AndrewX Cc: Richard Davies; occi-wg@ogf.org Subject: Re: [occi-wg] Format 1: Wire format or abstract model "Edmonds, AndrewX" <andrewx.edmonds@intel.com> writes:
So this one is a bit weird to me - even if you specific some on-the-wire format it still has to conform to a model of some sorts - even if it's implicit.
My understanding of the two options is either OCCI is just a model without a rendering, or OCCI is a model together with a rendering. Clearly a rendering implies a model, as you say, and defining a rendering doesn't prevent us making the model explicit in a more abstract sense.
