Hi, Brian,
Thanks for review and comments.

the GRASP objectives seem correctly defined.
Thanks, we are now having clearer view what our innovation could do.
>I did wonder whether the service types and resource types
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-anima-network-service-auto-deployment-07#section-7.1)
should be defined as integers or as names. Names need more bits, but would be
much easier for users if they appeared, for example, in JSON or YANG
formulations.
Both names in strings and integers could work, of course. There are several
weak advantages of using integers: 1, implying the total number of service
types and resource types are limited, it might prevent too many types from
being defined in the future. 2, using numeric codes avoids inconsistencies
such as case differences, typos, and non-standard abbreviations that often
occur with descriptive strings. Numbers are unambiguous and error-free,
making configuration checking and logic judgment much simpler. 3, Numeric
codes are naturally suitable for enumeration, range validation, and whitelist
management.
We do not have any strong insistence on this, would be open to accepting WG's
choice.
Best regards,
Sheng
