Hi Richard
It's a bit late to make such a change, TMF620 is frozen for final review and I'm reluctant to ask for such a change.
The truth is that I have never understood the meaning of service and resource candidates, and I even agitated for their removal (from both the API model and the SID). My initiative was rejected. The mapping between the BSS and OSS view is done at any rate at the ProductSpecification level, where you have a list of implementing service and resource specs.
