A first version of XML representation of OCCI has been implemented in
CompatibleOne. Nevertheless, there were no generic XML schema to
represent OCCI types. My proposal aims at fullfilling this need.
Main objectives are to be able to implement (draft of) specifications as
quickly as possible in a framework independant way (rOCCI, pyOCNI,
etc.), ie through an XML document.

Nevertheless, this proposal has not been implemented yet. I am currently
writing an OCCI framework (erocci) in erlang which will accept
specifications as XML document, but this is not finished :/

I suppose as soon as the XML representation will be commented and
implemented, other framework will use it.

I will keep you informed as soon as the framework wil be functional
enough to test your draft with it.

Best regards,
Jean
