Question	Answer
What is the difference between Application and Application Service?	Read this community article.
So does creating our own relationship will still adheres CSDM model?	CSDM already has the relationship pre-defined (OOTB) so when you add business app, or service offering to App Service record, each relationship will be auto created. Creating your own relationship may works for CSDM model, it may impact the outage automation
Which license subscription is required for getting CSDM or does it come as a separate payable plugin	Activate the CSDM Activation plugin: com.snc.cmdb.csdm.activation.
John, you did answer on creating new relationships. But is it a good practice to create new relationships from what we have OOTB?	It does come with CSDB subscription. Yes, It is .
How can we recommend clients in operationalizing(automating?) the scope and scale of csdm configuration for multiple application stacks ?	This is a big question. CSDM service mapping is a part of Service process automation, process automation is depended on Service mapping based on CSDM model, like outage.
Can we also have example use cases please on full implementation? I have CSDM draft 4.0., But i couldn't find a full example on all data types.	John’s Community blog - CSDM Service Migration Playbook and Use Case Examples
