Use cases
NWPLAT is the telecom network equivalent of PLAT (IT platforms), kept completely separate so that telecom network and traditional IT platform management are independent domains. Like PLAT, it is a lightweight normalisation point: name, domain/layer classification, and description. Operational detail belongs on the deployed instances (NWPLATINST) and their software versions (NWPLATSW).
