[OGSA-BES-WG] re-evaluate removal of container model from BES spec appendix

[Ellen Stokes]

Andrew,

Per our discussion at the OGSA F2F Sep 14, I'd like the workgroup to 
re-evaluate the decision to remove the (general) container model from the 
BES specification appendix.

The intent of this appendix is to provide the container model as an 
'informational' appendix so it can be submitted to DMTF as concrete 
proposal for inclusion in the DMTF CIM and a context for why a container 
model is necessary.

The inclusion of the model in the BES spec does not imply that OGSA must 
implement this CIM container model to implement BES; it is merely an 
abstraction for a general container model where BES can provide context 
for the need and implementation of a specific container model.  If this 
point doesn't come across in the appendix text, I have no problem 
modifying the text.

I know the BES calls are generally scheduled for Thursdays; however, I am 
not available this Thursday Sep 28.
Let me know when this topic can be scheduled as part of BES workgroup 
call.

Ellen
