we might want to add the association from AccessProtocol to StorageShare;
what do people think about this?

also here... I think Riccardo is right. The association from 
StorageShare to DataStore should be changed from StorageShare to 
StorageResource...
alternatively, we can add in parallel if people really want to discover 
the type of data store on which a storage share is configured.
This will complicate the life of sysadmin who have to configure the 
providers, therefore, let us consider this issue carefully.
