Please remove fixed issues and add a statement to the Changelog of the corresponding Wiki page

Open Issues

• (Infrastructure) Network needs to be defined in more detail
• (Infrastructure) Storage needs to refined
• (Rendering) in URLs some characters need to be URI encoded (e.g. '#' -> %23). Need to note in the rendering section something like "URLs supplied to an implementation must be URI encoded"
• (Collections) Some topics not covered in the document. ... 1) Can a collection exist at the consumer's root point of presence ? 2) How do you define a parent occi element as a collection parent ? 3) Can any occi element (compute, network, storage) be defined as a parent for a collection ? 4) Are recursive graphs permitted ?

Fixed issues - but need documentation

• (Core) add version string 1.1 somewhere...
• Currently there is little content returned in the response of many requests. We should by default return a representation of the resource (to be) created, otherwise there is potential unnecessary network traffic overhead. Otherwise HTTP codes 203 and 204 should be used where appropriate. (Action item: andy/add note: do expect content in the body)
• (Infra) Link is not sufficient to represent Network Links from compute to Network. Same for storage 2010-09-04: The new Core model definition allow Links to by subtyped for provider extension. The above issue is thus considered fixed. (Action item: ??)

Fixed - to be reviewed

• (Rendering/Core) Versioning
• REST needs to be added to render doc (Action item: tmet)
• Document actions in more detail (especially regarding: long running jobs) (Action item: tmet)
• How to document and register OCCI extensions should be defined (Action item: tmet)
• Query interface (Action item: tmet)
• Query Interface - e.g. how to query for all compute types that have another category type or how to query a category with a particular attribute value. 2010-09-21: Fixed, not documented. (Action item: tmet)
• More examples (fat-links, creation of res with links etc, actions - collections etc.) (Action item: Andy, Ralf)
• HTTP Header rendering text/plain fallback to HTTP body to circumvent Header size restrictions. Fixed but not documented yet. (Action item: Ralf)
• (Core) How can we added/removed tags if categories is immutable? Suggestion: added a mutable attribute to Kind called 'tags'. Specify their semantics as: "tags should be implemented. these tags should be non-executive and may be executive. to be non-executive means that no direct changes to the target Kind will be performed and assigning a non-executive tag is only an act of adding additional metadata. to be executive means that direct changes to the target Kind will be performed (e.g. assigning a location tag will move a Compute Kind) as well as adding the associated metadata. executive tags are akin to mix-ins in programming languages. TODO specify a scheme/term for simple non-exe tags. See: Categories & Collections
• Collections (Action item: Andy) - Documented See: Categories & Collections
• Collections and their relationship to Categories (Action item: Andy) - Documented' 'See: Categories & Collections
• Multi-request submission. Fixed for HTTP rendering using multipart. Fixed, example present but documentation lacking.(Action item: Andy) See: Categories & Collections
• OS Template & Categories - e.g. how to specify ubuntu 9.10 x64 using categories, how to specify parameters to a OS (boot params etc). Fixed, partly documented in Core. (Action item: Andy, Ralf) See: InfrastructureTemplates
• Add Console I/O attributes... (Action item: Gary) See: Consoles
• Add credentials to storage (Guests, Remote, Third Party, direct access)... Use a common scheme to console, maybe adopt kmip ? (Action Item: Gary)
• A generalized security specification for OCCI to incorporate consoles, storage, vpn, etc.. (Action Item: Gary)
• (Rendering) How to discover authentication methods of a provider (AR: andy) See Authentication Mechanism Discovery
• (Core) It must be noted in the specification that Links MUST be uniquely identified. To do this the 'id' attribute will be moved from Resource to Kind (AR: Ralf)
