[occi-wg] XML to represent an instance

[Augusto Ciuffoletti]

>From a very intuitive (i.e., unformal) point of view, it is a very compact
way to describe an resource together with outgoing links: think of a graph
representation. I agree with you that this offers an embarrassing alias for
the operation of creating link, clearly more convenient than the "official"
way. I decided to use this alternative exactly for that reason: it is very
attractive, so probably the most frequently used. But I found the same
point you did: once created, I have no reference for the link.

So here is the question: is the "in line" creation of a link (as in the
http rendering paper, sect. 3.4.5) conceptually acceptable (and why, we may
have overlooked some relevant detail), or not?
