So my point is: 1) ANY resource model we use MUST have a normative xml expression 2) ANY resource model we use MUST have a normative wsdl expression

For specific, specific disciplines we undoubtedly will use portions of CIM. We (OGSA) will undoubtedly use portions of other resource models (perhaps IETF for networking). All of the models we use MUST meet the normative low bar above 1 & 2.

I wasn't aware that resource models were inherently services. They're just a way of describing the terms used in some data relating to the description of a resource, surely? Or do you distinguish between purely passive descriptive models and active manipulable models of a resource? Donal.
