Following is a fairly simple model for Party based on the TMF SID.   The intent is to start with a simple party model, and grow it as needed.


In this context, a Party represents an individual, organization or organization unit (a more detailed definition is found below).


The need for the party concept includes:

  1. Vnfs are and Pnfs are onboarded from vendors.  
    A Vendor is a party role.
  2. The license model presently in ASDC also makes use of the Vendor concept.
    Such agreements Agreements are made between vendors and service providers (another party role), and entitlements and licenses are provided by vendors.
  3. The concept of Customer is also modeled (a 3rd party role).  
    It can be discussed if the concept of Customer is in scope for ONAP.

...

It is assumed that this will be an R5 item.
