[occi-wg] OCCI Core ready for public comment version

[Ralf Nyren]

I think your proposed naming change would make things more clear. To get a  
feel for what it would look like I have updated the OCCI Core document  
accordingly. Please read and let me know if there are any objections to  
the change.

Please find the OCCI Core document attached.

regards, Ralf
