Re: [clouds] Clouds SDO gap analysis template (a Table)

[Mark Carlson <[e-mail]>]

Bhumip,

Not sure why you are doing this. The information you need is largely already
available on http://cloud-standards.org wiki. Each SDO has already created
an entry describing their cloud work, and they use a standard template 
already
to describe each standard.

For example, here is one for an already finalized standard:


http://cloud-standards.org/wiki/index.php?title=SNIA_Cloud_Data_Management_Interface_%28CDMI%29


  Cloud Standard

*1. The name of the specification*

SNIA Cloud Data Management Interface

*2. A short statement (<100 words) of the purpose and function of the 
specification* The SNIA Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) is the 
functional interface that applications will use to create, retrieve, 
update and delete data elements from the cloud. As part of this 
interface the client will be able to discover the capabilities of the 
cloud storage offering and use this interface to manage containers and 
the data that is placed in them. In addition, metadata can be set on 
containers and their contained data elements through this interface.

*3. The version number (or other distinct identifier) and date of the 
most recently approved version of the specification.*

SNIA Architecture - 1.0 standard

*4. If the specification is part of a group of explicitly related 
specifications from the same source, the name of the group of 
specifications.* Not applicable

*5. URI for the normative text of the specification * 
http://www.snia.org/tech_activities/standards/curr_standards/cdmi 
<http://www.snia.org/tech_activities/standards/curr_standards/cdmi>


    SOURCE

*6. The name of the SDO that generated/authored/hosted the 
specification. * Storage Networking Industry Association

*7. URI for the SDO* http://snia.org

*8. The level of approval that the SDO has conferred on the 
specification as described by the SDO's process.* SNIA Architecture 
(Final Standard)

*9. The language or languages in which the specification is available. * 
US English


    SUBJECT

*10. Which of the categories of Cloud services does the standard 
address? * (Infrastructure as a Service - IaaS, Data Storage as a 
Service - DaaS, Platform as a Service - PaaS, Software as a Service - 
SaaS) DaaS (Cloud Storage)

*11. Does the standard address both functional and management aspects of 
the service?* Yes. Management is done by setting metadata on containers 
of data and individual data elements. The functional interface allows 
CRUD semantics for storage of data via HTTP.


    OPTIONAL

*12. The level of approval of the specification in this generic 
lifecycle taxonomy: *

Final standard


*13. URI for the applicable SDO's patent and copyright rules, if any, 
applicable to development and use of the specification.* SNIA IP Policy 
<http://www.snia.org/about/corporate_info/ip_policy/>

*14. URI for the SDO's posting location, (if any) for notices from 
participants or individuals regarding claims under the rules stated 
under number 15.* SNIA IP Policy 
<http://www.snia.org/about/corporate_info/ip_policy/>

*15. Interoperability, conformance, or certification test activity for 
the specification (by owner name or URI). *

None

*16. Known implementations of the specification (by owner name or URI).*

The SNIA Cloud Storage TWG is producing an open source reference 
implementation.

*17. A list (or URI pointer to same) of the other specifications* that 
are normatively referenced in the specification. *
