RFC 6208 CDMI Media Types April 2011
1. Introduction
The Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) [CDMI-1], developed by the
Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), is the functional
interface that applications will use to create, retrieve, update, and
delete data elements from the cloud. As part of this interface, the
client will be able to discover the capabilities of the cloud storage
offering and use this interface to manage containers and the data
that is placed in them. In addition, metadata can be set on
containers and their contained data elements through this interface.
