Infrastructure Templates (was: OS Templates)
Hey again, I've added a description of OS templates and from input from the WG people (incl Gary; thanks) a description of how we might do Resource Templates. It can be found here [1] and as ever comments etc are eagerly needed :-) Andy [1] http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.occi-wg/wiki/Infrastructur eTemplates ------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Ireland Limited (Branch) Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare, Ireland Registered Number: E902934 This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

Nice! I like that this template stuff is defined in the infrastructure part of OCCI. My only comment is that we should say Categories are "_related_ to" another Category instead of "associated", just to be consistent with the definitions in Core. I will update the wiki page. regards, Ralf On Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:43:20 +0200, Edmonds, AndrewX <andrewx.edmonds@intel.com> wrote:

Yep - no problem with the phrasing :-) -----Original Message----- From: Ralf Nyren [mailto:ralf@nyren.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 12:19 PM To: Edmonds, AndrewX; occi-wg Subject: Re: [occi-wg] Infrastructure Templates (was: OS Templates) Nice!

Found another issue while updating the wiki page. The page currently says a Resource template MUST be related to the Category defining the Resource type. This is currently not allowed by Core. Only Categories defining a sub-type of Resource/Link/Action are allowed to be related (directly or indirectly) to the base type Categories. The reason for this is that without the restriction it is not possible to distinguish a sub-type (taxonomy) Category from any random tag (folksonomy) Category. regards, Ralf On Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:43:20 +0200, Edmonds, AndrewX <andrewx.edmonds@intel.com> wrote:

Yes it MUST be related otherwise you have no indication of what Resource the template refers to. -----Original Message----- From: Ralf Nyren [mailto:ralf@nyren.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 12:34 PM To: Edmonds, AndrewX; occi-wg Subject: Re: [occi-wg] Infrastructure Templates (was: OS Templates) Found another issue while updating the wiki page.

Indeed, that is the way I had it until we changed it after a discussion on IRC if you remember :D Now, read section "4.1.2 Categories" in Core. In order to allow the template Category to relate to a base type Category this section must be changed. Doing so however may (depending on how it is redefined) remove the distinction between a Category defining a sub-type of Kind and a Category used to assign tags to Kind _instances_. regards, Ralf On Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:49:42 +0200, Edmonds, AndrewX <andrewx.edmonds@intel.com> wrote:
