Open APIs

In Product Inventory Management API -
a. `Quantity` is specified as a sub resource having fields - amount and unit
b. the same quantity is referenced in `ProductTerm` sub-resource 

What confuses me is -
` ProductTerm` sub-resource has a field `duration` and description for `duration` is `A quantity (Quantity). Duration of the productTerm.`
Here, how will I be able to reference the `Quantity` in ` ProductTerm` as `Quantity` is having information about `amount` and `unit`? Can you please elaborate?

Hi Saurabh
I'm not sure I fully understand the issue. We have a number of compound data types in the Open API model (these are not sub-resources), such as Money, Duration, TimePeriod, Quanity, and more, to cover data type gaps in the JSON Schema standard.

In ProductTerm (and ProductOfferingTerm at catalog), if the commitment term is a length in time, we want to express the length of time by giving the amount and the units, hence the Duration type. For example; for a term of 2 years, the amount would be 2 and the units would be years.
Hope it helps
