In the text referenced and throughout the document "network hardware inventory" should simply be "hardware inventory".

If I remind correctly the intention to use the word "network" was to distinguish the scope of this inventory model with respect RFC 8348, that is also an inventory model but with single server scope (i.e. device model). Maybe the word is not correct and something better can be found, but the intention was that one. see https://github.com/ietf-ccamp-wg/ietf-network-inventory/blob/e633109c5dff36ea26e1844c6abd32e664eb9f0a/draft-ietf-ccamp-network-inventory-yang.txt#L178

Intention makes sense.

Perhaps "network wide" and "physical inventory".

We can consider this when we move into Ivy.
