    • Type: Bug
    • Status: New
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Affects Version/s: TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML Version 1.0

    • Environment:

      Normative

    • Proposal:
      Hide

      Replace "normative" with "TOSCA defined" or variations as appropriate when "normative" means defined by TOSCA. Including the section references as appropriate would not be amiss.

      Description

      The major sections identify themselves as normative or non-normative.

      Other uses of the word "normative" occur in the text. For example, 2.1 A “hello world” template for TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML, reads in part:

      *****
      As mentioned before, the TOSCA simple profile assumes the existence of a small set of pre-defined, normative set of node types (e.g., a ‘Compute’ node) along with other types,...Using the normative TOSCA Compute node type, a very basic “Hello World” TOSCA template for deploying just a single server would look as follows:
      *****
      "Normative" in this second sense (occurs > 100 times) seems to mean node types, etc. that are defined by this profile.

      In this case, the TOSCA defined Compute node type is found at: 5.8.2 tosca.nodes.Compute.

      To avoid dual use of "normative" to mean different things, suggest replacing "normative" with "TOSCA defined" or variations as appropriate.
