The topology inventory has to store the particular graph for any topology and
also the connections between the different levels of topologies. For instance,
the G<sub>logical1</sub> is linked to G<sub>physical</sub>. (needs to be clear
if changes in n-1 graph has impact on n graph).
For further study at this point: Which type of database and implementation of
databases should be used to store the different topology graphs and their
pontential dependencies? How should the interface between gosdn and this
database look like?
