This is a good question, that I was thinking about too

Help me with the naming conventions here.

1 Infinispan istance can have n caches, that each has 1 jgroups channel?

In the cloud you have x IS instances with n caches.

So in this case, we could have the cache as top level element
below the "IS subystem". And the number of IS instances as
just a numeric metric.

In a later version of Jopr, we will have the possibility of "related 
resources".
In this case we don't need the strict parent-child relation that we have 
now.
