+ A shared Heat Orchestration Template resource is a resource that **MUST**
+ be defined in the base module and will be referenced by one or
+ more resources in one more more incremental modules.
+
+ The UUID of the shared resource (created in the base module) **MUST** be
+ exposed by declaring a parameter in the
+ ``outputs`` section of the base module.
+
+ For ECOMP to provided the UUID value of the shared resource to the
+ incremental module, the parameter name defined in the ``outputs``
+ section of the base module **MUST** be defined as a parameter
+ in the ``parameters`` section of the incremental module.
+
+ ECOMP will capture the output parameter name and value in the base module
+ and provide the value to the corresponding parameter(s) in the
+ incremental module(s).
