The approach treats infrastructure-provided resource state and requester context as possible inputs to the Minimum Viable Dataset (MVD) used by a discovery mechanism. These inputs can help keep minimum public discovery information current and can help determine the appropriate discovery scope or entry point without requiring the requester to understand deployment-specific network details. The document does not define registration, catalog search, semantic matchmaking, resource ranking, or selection, and does not define a new discovery wire protocol.}, }
