<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>As discussed above we're talking about a scheme where portions of the management model can be addressed via ordered list of key/value pairs:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>[{base=>domain},{profile=>default},{subsystem=>web},{connector=>http}</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Any portion of the model that can't be addressed that way would be treated as an attribute of an item that could. Attributes don't need to be simple times; they can be lists or a detyped representation of a more complex object graph.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Anyway, bit of a data dump... a couple weeks back I went through the model elements in Alpha1 to analyze how they'd fit into such an addressing scheme and see if there are any blockers. Result is attached in a spreadsheet. I didn't find any blockers. I attached it to this document in case anyone is interested. And in case it's a useful reference document for looking at the structure of the management model.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The structure of the spreadsheet isn't too intuitive. There's tab for each type of model. Within each tab is a series of "Key" and "Value" columns that describe the tree of addressable elements. To the left of all that is a column that lists some non-trivial attributes that are found at the relevant point in the tree. (Yes, I know, having them on the left is weird). Left of that is some comment about how to represent the attribute. One or more * in the comment indicates there's something to think about a bit.</p></div>
