Similar to CIMI but a different standard :) Basically instead of making calls to the CloudStack API, which is not an official standard, users could use an OCCI client to manage their cloud (basic functionality being to start/stop vms). This means that CloudStack needs to expose a service that answers to OCCI standard requests. With rOCCI we can deploy a server side by side with CloudStack mgt server. The OCCI requests would get to that server and then be forwarded to the CloudStack mgt API server thanks to the driver that you can write :) It is a similar idea to the AWS interface in CloudStack.
