I had real trouble mapping the taxonomy to the models I am familair with.
ODL uses YANG models to define the persistent data and interface APIs to
any and all of its internal services. These include controlling
anything and everything the controller does. But the results of the
YANG operations are operations internal to ODL, although many result
after processing in actions applied to the network.

What is the relationship between this taxonomy and the many models that do not
fit its cateogrization?
Three examples:
Models used in ODL to generate results which may be neither network services
nor network elements. They may be in between, or in some other dimension?
When you say generate results, those models generate results based on what? Can
you give some examples?
Also, models used to describe things in other aspects of environments, such as
Policy models?
Policy will describe an action on device or on a network service, as in general
policy is defined as a set of match condition(s) followed by an action. I would
even say that most policies are for network service models.
And models of things which are not conventional network elements, such as
models of compute platforms, models of applications, even models of control
systems.
We haven’t created device as generic network element, but with networking in
mind. You can view it as generic. Device should always provide what it is
capable of and it is a superset into which all other models must fit.
