Abstract

   This document defines YANG packages, a versioned organizational
   structure holding a set of related YANG modules that collectively
   define a YANG schema.  It describes how packages: are represented on
   a server, can be defined in offline YANG instance data files, and can
   be used to define the schema associated with YANG instance data
   files.
