Open APIs

Hello fellow TMF members!
I wonder if it is possible to combine characteristics of the object (like product) in groups. Like have group name of "DisplayName" and have multiple characteristics inside the group:

"internalName"/value
"externalName"/value
"some other name"/value
etc....
?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Igor,

Recently a new entity called feature has been introduced in the standard, which is used precisely to group characteristics. You can find it in most of the information models and APIs where the characteristic pattern is used. For instance, you can take a look at the service order resource of the TMF641 Service Order Management API.

Abel,
do you have a link from the TMF WIKI that explain the purpose of features? and will it be added in TMF620 V5?

Hi Matthieu,

I don't see references to this entity other than those that appear in the APIs. The description there is not very clear either: Configuration feature. Anyway, seeing the data model it's quite clear that may be used to logically group characteristics.

About your second question, as they appear in most of the other APIs, I guess that it's a matter of time before they also appear in this one. Perhaps @Jonathan Goldberghas more information.
