Re: [dsii] Potential IETF Work Items

When I see "Data Set Identifier" at the first time, what comes into my mind
is the identifier of objects in cloud storage system where all kinds of
data are stored with high availability and flexibility. Objects stored in a
cloud storage system also need identifying and interoperating, just as
those data objects stored in other data infrastructures, such as EUDAT. I
have read PPT files discussed in the IETF 84 BOF on DSII and find that no
file relates to cloud storage explicitly. Is it because the cloud storage
is too commercialized? Somehow it seems that cloud computing is not welcome
in IETF though it is very popular in industry.
