META FILE AND MANIFEST FILE
The use of the TOSCA.meta and the Manifest file (.mf) in line with ETSI SOL004 will help to:
1) identify the path of the ETSI MANO artifacts (by the .meta file)
2) identify the path of the NON ETSI MANO artifacts (as defined in ETSI SOL004), by the .mf file.
GENERAL
According to ETSI SOL004 v.2.5.1According to ETSI SOL004, every non-MANO artifact set shall be identified by a non-MANO artifact set identifier (TAG) which shall be registered in the ETSI registry.
ETSI registry . of non MANO artifact set identifier is available in ETSI wiki https://nfvwiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=Non_MANO_artifact_sets.
Set identifiers can be public or private. ONAP as a public community initiative decided to introduce a set of public identifiers.
Non-MANO artifact sets shall be declared in the manifest file. If the package contains at least one non-MANO artifact set, an entry named "non_mano_artifact_sets:" shall be present in the package on the manifest file on its own line after the "metadata" section.

ONAP PUBLIC NON-MANO ARTIFACTS SET APPROVED by ONAP TSC for REGISTRATION in ETSI
The followings are following table contains the public non-MANO artifact set identifiers which can be used in a PNF/VNF onboarding package .The introduction in the manifest file allow to isolate the ONAP specific topics as follows:per ONAP releases. The relevant examples of using the artifact tags are following the table

EXAMPLES:
Example 1 (Dublin Release)
In the picture below, an example of a PNF onboarding package including a manifest file with URI's for non-MANO artifacts used in Dublin
NOTES about the example: Folder/file name MANDATORY according to SOL004:
- TOSCA-Metadata directory and TOSCA.meta file (unique CSAR package structure supported in ONAP Dublin)
- Manifest file extension, XXX.mf, located at the root or in a location identified in the .meta file. The name of the file is the same of the TOSCA yaml file
Ín the example the following files are not provided:
- ChangeLog.txt, a human readable text file at the root or in a location identified in the .meta file. (NOT PROVIDED IN THE EXAMPLE )
- xNF testing procedure, NOT mandatory files according to ETSI
- A license term file for the xNF located in a directory named Licences located at the root or in a location identified in the .meta file (NOT PROVIDED IN THE EXAMPLE )
- certification files as they could differ according to the type of security option provided by the vendor (NOT PROVIDED IN THE EXAMPLE )
A reference PNF CSAR PACKAGE as example is available dummyPnfv2.csar to review directories structure and new .meta and .mf files format.
NOTES about the Dummy PNF CSAR PACKAGE example:
1) Only csar package structure with TOSCA-Metadata directory will be supported in Dublin timeframe
2) PM Dictionary, Event registration and Yang modules are the only NON MANO ARTIFACTS that will be listed in the manifest file
3) Multiple yang-module files the manifest file and in the dummy package with the intent to demonstrate that multiple files can be assosicated to a single keyword (according to ETSI SOL004)
4) Example package above does not include any certification file or other security options.
Example 2 (Frankfurt Release)
In the picture below, an example of a PNF onboarding package including a manifest file with URI's for non-MANO artifacts used in Frankfurt
A reference PNF CSAR PACKAGE as example is available dummyPnfv3.csar (TBD) to review directories structure and new .meta and .mf files format.
