The API structures resource representations in the following XML document structure:

<resource id="resource_id" href="/api/collection/resource_id">
    <name>Resource-Name</name>
    <description>A description of the resource</description>
    ...
</resource>

In the context of a virtual machine, the representation appears as follows:

<vm id="5b9bbce5-0d72-4f56-b931-5d449181ee06"
  href="/api/vms/5b9bbce5-0d72-4f56-b931-5d449181ee06">
    <name>RHEL6-Machine</name>
    <description>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Virtual Machine</description>
    ...
</vm>
