+CPS Components
+==============
+
+CPS-Core
+--------
+This is the component of CPS which encompasses the generic storage of Yang module data.
+
+**NCMP**
+
+The Network Configuration Management Proxy (NCMP) provides access to network configuration data and is a part of CPS-Core.
+NCMP accesses all network Data-Model-Inventory (DMI) information via NCMP-DMI-Plugins. The ONAP0-DMI-Plugin described in the next section is one such plugin.
+
+**Note:** This documentation will often refer to "CPS-NCMP" which is the component (container image) that contains both CPS-Core and NCMP since NCMP is not a stand-alone component
+even though CPS-Core could be deployed without the NCMP extension.
