Sites
Sites are an abstract construction to model information that is shared across all services deployed at one physical location. They only contain information relevant to the services that rely on it. As a result, external BSS and OSS systems are still in place for other accounting and bookkeeping purposes. However, these lie outside the scope of GAP.
