Hi Fred, Thank you very much for your updated draft. The following is a list of my general comments. Sorry for the last minutes feedback. (1) DMTF DSP1001 Management Profile Specification Usage Guide This is now publicly available and should be referenced from and utilized by your guideline document. (2) Date model Without data model, how to use IM within OGSA specs. options are; i) rendered in interface specs ii) RM design team will create DM guideline in the future iii) DMTF provides standard mapping from IM to DM (3) Why an IM is needed (Section 1.2) The current text is a list of usecases. Necessity description is required here. (4) Modeling Process (Section 2) I propose to re-order three steps. i) create informal IM (now step 3) ii) create CIM management profile (now step 1) iii) optional: create CIM extension (now step 2) (5) GGF WG/DT (Section 3.2) I propose to drop first scenarios since it does not scale. (6) Standardization steps (Section 4) Need sub-sections for; i) Information Model profile (is it GFD-R.P or GFD-I?) ii) OGSA specification (7) extensions (Section 4.1) CIM extension should follow what JCIM did. It is GGF document not DMTF document. Thanks, ---- Hiro Kishimoto Fred Maciel wrote:

Hi,

I updated the modeling guidelines document. Changes from the previous (pre-GGF16) version are indicated. The latest version can always be found at:

We will review this document on the teleconference next wednesday, so please give a look. I'm looking forward to your feedback.
