Hi,
Apologies, I'm new to the TMF 620 Open API Specification.
I'd like to understand the difference between the ProductSpecification and ProductSpecificationRef resources.
Is the ProductSpecification the definition of the product itself and ProductSpecificationRef the definition of the connection between the Product Offering and ProductSpecfication? i.e. does the "name" attribute apply to the link itself and not to the name of the product specification? Also, w
hat does targetProductSchema refer to? And how it is different from @schemaLocation?
Perhaps I could also extend this question to the differences between ProductSpecificationRef and ProductSpecificationRelationship. What is the difference between Ref and Relationship in TMF? As we read the documentation, it looks like
Ref is used for when two different types of entity are linked together, e.g. ProductOffering to ProductSpecification is
ProductSpecificationRef. Also, it looks like
Relationship is used when linking together the same type if entities, e.g. ProductSpecification to ProductSpecification is
ProductSpecificationRelationship. Please confirm if this understanding is correct.
Thanks,
Ibiso
