[occi-wg] Evolution proposal in "OCCI Platform" specification

[Metsch, Thijs]

Hi,

Thanks for the contribution - looks good. Can you maybe write a little Errata text and include that in the doc as well?

Cheers,

-Thijs

Thanks a lot... it was a mistake !
Fixed now, in the attached version (and in the git repo, of course).

The target state for "configure" was "inactive", there is no "configured" state in the figure.

Thanks for reading so carefully, the mistake came through our peer review without being noticed !

Regards,
  Pierre-Yves Gibello - OCCIWare team

P.S. Please let us know of the process & schedule to integrate this in the next spec release, if any.
