+ASDC
+----
+
+The ECOMP resource catalog. We assume the existince and usage of ASDC, though for near term testing purposes, we use a mock version of the catalog.
+We assume all DCAE artifacts: components like collectors, CDAP applications, data formats (see below), etc, are onboarded and searchable in the catalog.
+Further, we assume that every catalog artifact has a *UUID*, a globally unique identifier that identifies that artifact.

+Onboarding catalog
+------------------
+
+The onboarding catalog is the intermediary store for project details, component specifications and data formats. This is to be used by component developers through the `dcae-cli` to browse and to launch existing components and push their own component artifacts in preparation to move their component to the ASDC resource catalog.
