Subject: My todo: addressing & name resolution
Here are my definitions for our call today, Addressing - An address or reference is the datastructure to refer to a unique service with suffient information to be able to locate and invoke it given that the supported messages are already understood. In this context address and reference are used synonomously. It is necessary for management because we need to be able to refer to manageability services and manageable services in relationships, events, and operation signature in an interoperable, persistable manner. Name resolution service - A service which accepts an identifier (URI) and returns an address/reference. ?? Is it also necessary to accept a reference and return the identifier for it? ?? It is necessary for management because resources and manageability services have identifiers (from existing instrumentation and technologies) and it will be necessary to be able to get a reference for that resource identifier so that the manager can interact with a resource through its manageability interface.
