Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI), Version 0.8
Defines the Functional Interface for Applications 
The SNIA has published a Work-in-Progress draft version of the Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) for public review and feedback. This functional specification is being proposed to act as the interface that applications will use to create, retrieve, update, and delete elements from the Cloud. The Cloud Storage Technical Working Group, which approved the CDMI for public review and comment, expects that most existing cloud storage offerings will be able to implement the interface.
