Difference between AppComp and PlatCom?

[Adam Barker <adam.barker@st-andrews.ac.uk>]

Hi All, 

I'm following the OASIS CAMP specification with interest. The specification looks like it is addressing a highly topical problem. 

I have an initial comment on the specification: 

From a first read I find some of the components a little confusing. After reading through section 2 and sections 5.9, 5.10 and 5.13 it's difficult to see what the key differences are between the ApplicationComponentTemplate Resource and the PlatformComponentTemplate Resource. It seems that a lot of the representation could be reused. Is it necessary to have both? 

Thanks in advance, 

Adam.
