+## Description
+
+Currently all runtime information related to resources is keep in an internal 
+database in RO, which is partially replicated in the common database, involving 
+a translation of models and storage mechanisms. This is inefficient for several 
+reasons:
+
+- RO-related information stored in the common database is not authoritative, 
+but a copy of the real authoritative info (information is duplicated).
+- Therefore, there is no 100% guarantee that the info in the common databases 
+is kept in sync with the actual authoritative database.
+- There is a translation in place, to adapt the information to the different 
+database paradigms (relational vs. noSQL) and map to to system-level IDs and 
+objects.
+- Almost all changes at IM trigger a specific development to change the 
+relational RO database and to make the appropriate translations. This usually 
+requieres extensions in RO´s northbound interface capabilities too.
+- Maintaining this duplicate mechanism makes RO development and evolution 
+artificially complex with no obvious advantages.
+
+Hence this feature requests the direct use of common OSM services by RO 
+(particularly, the common database) so that information is always up to date 
+and RO's maintenance is largely simplified, being current legacy RO's NBI and 
+translation mechanisms no longer needed.
+
+## Demo or definition of done
+
+Check that all information of state in RO is always available in the common 
+NoSQL databes, and that internal RO's MySQL database can be safely removed.
