Introduction 

For complex intent, such as the intent of cloud leased line, it is necessary to decompose the complex intent into sub intents of different dimensions, and implement the user's original intent through the execution of sub intents. So we need to deal with machin-machine intent, and for different intents or sub intents in the system, it is necessary to provide general intent model to ensure that all intents(especially machine-machine intents) operate according to the same expression. 

Benefits of introducing general intent model in ONAP 

• Improve interoperability between components/systems via standarded intent description. 
• Model federation mechanism is introduced (later explained in detail) to enable domain extension. 
• Based on the general intent model, the machine-machine intent is supported.
• Enhance standardization based on the existing standards.
• Reuse the existing domain related models which enables extension to different application scenarios.
