[occi-wg] OCCI entities ids

[Jean Parpaillon]

Hi,
We've had a discussion during last OCCI-wg session in Roma about the
way to specify entity ids.

As specified in current documents, entity ids can be specified in
different ways _at the same time_ at creation time and implementations
behaviour is not specified.
I suppose we should consider either removing different ways to specify
ids either specify implementation behaviour.

Here are the different ways the can be specified:
* JSON rendering:
  * 'id' attribute in JSON document
  * 'occi.core.id' attribute in the 'attributes' property of the JSON
document
* HTTP protocol:
  * PUT request: url of the request + rendering specific (see above)
  * POST request: rendering specific

In general, for renderings where core attributes are rendered
differently from others (id, source, target, etc), it is not specified
how to deal with attributes being set twice.

A suggestion will follow in a next e-mail. For me, the most important
being to avoid ambiguities as to improve implementations
interoperability.
