+Overall architecture for O-RAN A1 Policy functions

-Following illustration provides a global view about **ORAN** architecture,
+This picture provides a overview of ONAP's A1 Controller architecture,
integration with other ONAP components and API resource/operation provided.

-API Version
-***********
-
-APIs are described with a state version with "v" following the API Name,
-e.g.: ``v2/policy``.
-The schema associated with a REST API must have its version number aligned
-with that of the REST API.
-
-The version number has major, minor and revision numbers. E.g. v1.0.0
-The version number (without the revision number) is held in the URI.
-
-The major version number is incremented for an incompatible change.
-The minor version number is incremented for a compatible change.
-For minor modifications of the API, version numbering must not be updated,
-provided the following backward compatibility rules are respected:
-
-- New elements in a data type must be optional (``minOccurs=0``)
-- Changes in the cardinality of an attribute in a data type must be from
- mandatory to optional or from lower to greater
-- New attributes defined in an element must be optional (absence of
- ``use="required"``).
-- If new enumerated values are included, the former ones and its meaning must
- be kept.
-- If new operations are added, the existing operations must be kept
-- New parameters added to existing operations must be optional and existing
- parameters must be kept
-
-For major modifications of the API, not backward compatible and forcing client
-implementations to be changed, the version number must be updated.
