[dcifed-wg] DCIFed status

[Craig Lee]

Alex, Gary, et al.,

I strongly encourage a short write-up on OCCI/CDMI/OVF.  These three 
standards were mentioned as a group multiple times at the NIST Cloud 
Standards Summit (both Alan and I attended).  This group also appears in 
the NIST Cloud Standards Roadmap -- the first complete draft should be 
available this June.  I can't promise this material would get into the 
Roadmap, but we need to make the strongest possible, defensible 
recommendations wrt existing and emerging standards for cloud computing.

Wrt Use Cases -- and broad use case requirements -- many sets of cloud 
use cases have been compiled, even among the NIST Cloud WGs.  If DCIFed 
wants to compile another set of use cases, I would recommend taking some 
time to at least review and comment on the other sets that have been 
compiled.  I agree with the use case requirements that Gary mentions in 
his earlier email.  I would add, though, that Vivek Kundra has said that 
_document management_, i.e., document workflow, is the single largest 
use case for the US gov.  (This is probably true for all governments!) 
It also seems to me that secure access through mobile devices, i.e., 
smartphones, is also high on the list.

I remember Alan pointing me to some NIST standards wiki pages with a table of use cases and cloud desiderata -- would be a good starting point to show what the DCIfed integration is supposed to address, if we assume OCCI/OVF/CDMI to be this integration.
