i'm not sure we want to bake TOSCA (or any standard) in to the `api`
project -- brooklyn thus far has been entirely neutral. (all things
camp-specific are contributed through a plugin / services mechanism.)
also as we move towards entities being written in yaml i think we'd want a
way to specify tosca derived-from types in yaml.
i'd suggest instead we:
* add support for tags on catalog items in brooklyn (which you've mostly
done)
* redefine the items you care about using yaml in the downstream
`brooklyn-tosca` project including a *string* tag `"tosca-derived-from: xxxx"`,
e.g.
id: brooklyn.tosca.nodes.MySql
tags: [ "tosca-derived-from: tosca.nodes.Database" ]
item:
type: o.a.b...MySqlNode
