[occi-wg] Talk and paper on hypermedia in design

[Jean Parpaillon]

Hi all,
Regarding the last sentence, I tend to agree, especially for the OCCI:
we have a good, consistent and simple API, but it should not be only
paper. As SOAP or xmlrpc, OCCI should have its "plug & dev"
libraries/framework for building OCCI compliant APIs and extending them.

I thought that was a bit disturbing and short-sighted, but understandable, and perhaps could be cured by a better design pattern. Hypermedia seems to be one [possible contributor to better design. Thoughts?
