[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (TOSCA-57) Improve comsumability of TOSCA schema through re-organization based on roles and use cases

Paul Zhang commented on TOSCA-57:
---------------------------------

Good idea. 
This makes spec more unambiguous since <ServiceTemplate> becomes a "Template" (similar as those "Templates" like NodeTemplate, RelationshipTemplate, etc) rather than a "root".

> In the current TOSCA schema and spec, all definitions go into a <ServiceTemplate> root element. This can be confusing, e.g. if someone has to define a <ServiceTemplate> when just wanting to provide a new NodeType. <ServiceTemplate> should really just be the service template, and all other definitions should go into a different root. The rough structure would be like:
> <ServiceTemplate>
>   ...
>   <TopologyTemplate>
>     ...
>   </TopologyTemplate>
>   <Plans>
>     ...
>   </Plans>
> </ServiceTemplate>
> and then a separate root element for definitions
> <Definitions>
>   ...
>   (
>    <NodeType>
>      ...
>    </NodeType>
>   |
>    <RelationshipType>
>      ...
>     </RelationshipType>
>   |
>    ...
>   )+
> </Definitions>
> I will prepare a version of the spec and schema based on the next complete WD according to the outline above.
