[glue-wg] Comparison with CIM

[Paul Millar]

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone has been looking at this, but there's an emerging 
standard (through DMTF) in modelling "things" (computer-hardware 
and -software, network equipment, etc): CIM.  There seems to be some 
cross-over here through OGF, so forgive me if this is already "well known".

Anyway, for those who haven't heard of them, their schema makes for 
interesting reading.  The current version (2.18) is available from:
	http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim/cim_schema_v218

"Device" (from which a StorageDevice may be published)

How to publish ACLs:

Enjoy!

Paul.
