Current NGSI-LD information model for telemetry domain considers Device entity as the data source. In turn this entity may have Gnmi and Netconf entities that represent the network management protocols supported by the device. Then we have modeled the GnmiCollector entity as the dynamic gNMI subscription that collects telemetry data from the device.
This approach is not accurate as pointed by @dr2lopez. He notes that Gnmi and Netconf should be managed as the actual data sources. In that sense, the GnmiCollector entity would only link to Gnmi entity. Therefore, the telemetry data source as we understand today must evolve into two types of data sources: gnmi and netconf.
