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

[Ralf Nyren]

Michael,

Please find attached a version of the core model with Kind split into two  
separate classes. Was it something like this you were looking for?

To me it makes sense to do the split. Before we had the abstraction  
between Category and Kind it was tempting to stuff all functionality into  
the Category. I do not think it is anymore.

I think this, exactly as you say Michael, definitely help clear things up  
a bit :)

If there are any objections I need them asap, if this is going in I need  
to start updating the core doc tomorrow. And if anyone has a better name  
than "Mixin" please speak up!

regards, Ralf
