Description Jason Losh CLA 2008-12-03 15:27:49 EST 
For the SDD work, it would be very helpful to have a defined resource hierarchy in order for SDD producers and consumers to validate proper "hosts" and "hosted by" relationships in topology.  

For example, it would be invalid in topology for an SDD producer to define that a resource called "J2EEapplicationserver" hosts a resource called "operatingsystem" ... the relationship should be reversed in that operatingsystem hosts J2EEapplicationserver.

Currently the source that could be used to determine valid hosts/hosted by relationships is the information model being used in the SDD ... CIM for example.  This can be problematic especially with the vastness of CIM.  

I would like to explore the possibility of incorporating basic inheritance in the RTx in order to meet these needs.
