Fully implement the SDC Informational Model, retain alignment with the ETSI NFV Informational Model
Provide a higher abstraction layer for further implementations, such as the SDC catalog database schema, message formats for internal protocols and external APIs, code libraries in programming languages like Java, Python, JavaScript, etc.
Serve a base for the ONAP Instance Information Model

Overview

The SDC Data Model combines the following elements:

A library of TOSCA normative types
Patterns for translating ETSI IM NFV Information Model abstractions into TOSCA constructs
Conventions of naming, structuring, ordering, etc.

Note: The mapping to the ETSI NFV IM specs should not and will not be 1:1,

but the alignment with ETSI NFV IFA concepts and their data attributes in the data model

should be kept as much as possible
