Andrew,
Per our discussion at the OGSA F2F Sep
14, I'd like the workgroup to re-evaluate the decision to remove the (general)
container model from the BES specification appendix.
The intent of this appendix is to provide
the container model as an 'informational' appendix so it can be submitted
to DMTF as concrete proposal for inclusion in the DMTF CIM and a context
for why a container model is necessary.
The inclusion of the model in the BES
spec does not imply that OGSA must implement this CIM container model to
implement BES; it is merely an abstraction for a general container model
where BES can provide context for the need and implementation of a specific
container model. If this point doesn't come across in the appendix
text, I have no problem modifying the text.
I know the BES calls are generally scheduled
for Thursdays; however, I am not available this Thursday Sep 28.
Let me know when this topic can be scheduled
as part of BES workgroup call.
