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

[Boris Parak]

that's exactly what we are trying to do with the rOCCI framework. It's
often presented when talking about OpenNebula and its OCCI support,
but the framework itself has no ONE-specific code in it. It is a
library for building OCCI compliant services in Ruby.

Cheers, Boris

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?
