The functional models for SEAL services is represented using functional entities and reference points between the functional entities as specified in
subclause 6. The vertical applications consume the SEAL services in the form of APIs. Each SEAL service offers these APIs on a service-based interface to all its consumer entities.
Figure 15.2-1 illustrates the service-based interface representation of the functional model for SEAL services.
The SEAL function(s) exhibit the service-based interfaces which are used for providing and consuming SEAL services. The service APIs are specified for each SEAL function enabled over the service-based interface. The service-based interfaces of specific SEAL services are specified in this document. All the interactions with SEAL are governed based on the reference point interactions of the functional models specified in
subclause 6. VAL function represents the functionalities of the VAL server.
The service APIs offered by the SEAL function(s) are published and discovered on the CAPIF core function as specified in
TS 23.222.
Table 15.3-1 specifies the service-based interfaces supported by SEAL.
