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?
Some resource models also model behaviour. I know that some find this incorrect and strange; but from a model driven architecture perspective it makes sense to do that.
Or do you distinguish between purely passive descriptive models and active manipulable models of a resource?
Should have been more precise. 2) should read 2) ANY resource model that expresses operations MUST have a normative wsdl expression
