Describe what service catalogs are and how they will be implemented in the context of TOSCA and Winery.

Implementation

Service catalogs are very similar to existing service templates in Eclipse Winery, at least in the initial implementation. The main difference is that they may contain components as well as (or instead of) nodes. There may be further differences introduced in the future, however, so we plan to implement service catalogs as a separate class of entity based on the existing functionality for service templates in Eclipse Winery. On the other hand, future development may consider merging service catalog and components into the service template as more of a type or optional set of features that can be used for service template editing.

Future Development

After the initial pass described above, we hope to continue expanding on the base we will establish this year. A few of the directions we are already considering are described here.
