But what you get when you dereference the links in 
Platform.platformComponentTemplates[] is something like  the following:

{
  "uri" : 
"http://slc03lgx.us.oracle.com/campSrv/PlatformComponentTemplate/2";,
  "name" : "Apache Tomcat 7.0.29",
  "description" : "Bitnami TomcatStack 7.0.29-0",
  "created" : "2012-09-10T16:34:00-0800",
  "resourceState" : {
    "state" : "READY"
  },
  "tomcatVersion" : "7.0.29",
  "javaVersion" : "1.6.0_33",
  "servletVersion" : "3.0",
  "jspVersion" : "2.2"
}

Without some agreement the "name", the attribute space (e.g. 
"tomcatVersion", "javaVersion", etc.), and the value-space of those 
attributes - you can't tell if this template describes "the same 
service" as the ones described by Cloud Foundry (or some other registry).

The Cloud Foundry guys have made an attempt at cross-installation compatibility by defining supported application frameworks and services that applications can use. There is a test tool. If the list of standard ones is present, then you are considered compatible, and an application expecting those components is expected to work when moved to that platform.
