Gary, I'm moving to another country today so it's not particularly convenient for me (which is why I hadn't responded to your poll yet). I'd suggest adjourning such a discussion until I can explain the pros and cons of the three main options which will either be on the call tomorrow (assuming I'm not carting boxes around at the time) or some time after Thursday. I'd explain by email now but it's 02h30 and I've got a big day ahead of me... just quickly the options (bearing in mind the payload/entity-body is effectively opaque) are: - use a wrapper format for the metadata like SOAP or Atom (which neuters many nice HTTP features like caching while adding a significant encoding overhead, but it does give us collections) - use a separate resource for the metadata e.g. have http://example.com/myvm.ovf as well as http://example.com/myvm.atom, http://example.com/myvm.json, http://example.com/myvm.txt etc. (which is what we had planned until recently, but which requires us to specify renderings in various formats) - use the HTTP headers (which avoids the whole format discussion by using a single, standard format which can be sent with [GET] or without [HEAD] the payload/entity-body) I've spent the last week running around Europe talking about Open Cloud and OCCI too (CloudCamps in Edinburgh, London & Frankfurt among other things) so there's not many changes - at least from me - this week.

I' like to schedule a meeting to discuss Sam Johnston's proposal to move OCCI attributes elusively to HTTP headers.
I'd like to schedule this conference on friday Sept 25, 2009, the as time as the weekly call.
We need to fully understand the mapping of the attributes to the http protocol structures and the impacts to the specification.
cheers,
gary mazz
