One comment based on my experience from the work on circuit monitoring: 
it would have been easier and faster to use already existing and stable 
perfsonar NM schema (with possible small extensions) for topology 
description but it was decided to switch to NML. It wasn't smooth as 
required a lot of discussions but the final result is good so I'm happy 
we did this way. I would suggest the same approach for the NSI topology 
stuff.
