This option proposes to preserve the flexibility described in the Assumptions section by having ONAP SDC, when onboarding an ETSI VNF Descriptor, automatically capture the content thereof in an ONAP VNF model that assumes that ONAP will manage only the "deployment aspects" of that VNF.  Similarly, when onboarding an ETSI NS Descriptor, ONAP SDC would capture the content thereof in an ONAP Service model that assumes that ONAP will manage only the "deployment aspects" of that Service.  If the Service Provider intends that ONAP manage the application aspects of such a VNF/Service as well, the Service Provider would be expected to provide supplemental information into SDC that captures the "application management aspects" of the "extended" Service and Network Functions.  To limit the amount of manual work involved to so supplement SDC, this proposal recommends that the ONAP community define a method through which the VNF vendor itself would capture the "application management aspects" of their VNF, and provide that to SDC as an attachment to the SOL004 package at onboarding time.
