Abstract:

   Open Cloud Mesh (OCM) is a server federation protocol that is used to
   notify a Receiving Party that they have been granted access to some
   Resource.  It has similarities with authorization flows such as
   OAuth, as well as with social internet protocols such as ActivityPub
   and email.

   A core use case of OCM is when a user (e.g., Alice on System A)
   wishes to share a resource (e.g., a file) with another user (e.g.,
   Bob on System B) without transferring the resource itself or
   requiring Bob to log in to System A.

   While this scenario is illustrative, OCM is designed to support a
   broader range of interactions, including but not limited to file
   transfers.

   Open Cloud Mesh handles interactions only up to the point where the
   Receiving Party is informed of their access to the Resource.  Actual
   Resource access is subsequently managed by other protocols, such as
   WebDAV.
