             Summary: consider specifying a generic 'version' characteristic for use in ServiceSpecifications
                 Key: CAMP-172
                 URL: https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CAMP-172
             Project: OASIS Cloud Application Management for Platforms (CAMP) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Spec
            Reporter: Gilbert Pilz
            Assignee: Gilbert Pilz


As of PR2, CAMP is silent about any characteristics that might appear in the 'characteristics' array of a ServiceSpecification. Although we can't know all the aspects that might be used to characterize various services, we do know that all services have a version and that this version is usually important to consumers of that service. Experience has shown that Consumers often want to specify things like "this artifact requires version 2.3 of this service or greater" or "this artifact works with any 2.x version (but not 1.x nor 3.x)". If we force every CAMP Provider to independently implement versions themselves, the chance of any two Providers implementing the same syntax and semantic is small. This guarantees that Plans will not be portable across CAMP implementations.
