Dear Pierre-Yves Gibello, AFAIK, this looks like a reasonable addition. I noticed that you are using 'configured' as a target state in action tables. However, there is no such state declared in state tables or shown in state diagrams.

Dear OCCI team,
We at OCCIWare project (www.occiware.org) are using OCCI Platform to model and deploy/configure software applications in the cloud.
But we quickly came to the conclusion that the current "OCCI Platform" spec is too uncomplete, as we needed to extend it to cover some basic issues.
For instance, an application component (eg. a software component, like a database or an app server) will first be installed (we call that "deployed"), then configured, prior to managing its lifecycle (start/stop and so on).
OCCI Platform assumes the component is already installed and configured (it provides only "inactive" and "active" states with "start" and "shttps://github.com/gibello/occi-wgtop" actions), or that install/configure/start is a single action (which is not true).
What we propose here is adding 2 states ("undeployed" and "deployed") and 3 actions ("deploy", "configure" and "undeploy") in both the component and the application states (all modifications are located in chapters 3.1 and 3.2 of the OCCI Platform spec: figures 2 and 3 + tables 3 and 5). Of course, the new states and transitions can be considered optional by implementers, which would make things as simple as before for minimal use cases.
Attached, the new OCCI Platform spec we propose.
We cloned the OCCI specifications repository (redmine) on github, and the commits can be found here : https://github.com/gibello/occi-wg (simply "git clone" the repo, then "make" to build the specs).
Let us know what you think, and if relevant, which process to update the next version of "OCCI platform" specification.
