Is the initial goal to create a repository interface or is it bigger than that?  Can you tell me is the goal to create an abstraction over JPA and NoSQL or are you looking to create separate specifications, one specific for JPA and one for specific for NoSQL?

 The goal is to create a spec to unify these data sources, such as Spring Data or Micronaut Data. We also can talk about the Microprofile Rest client of one of these implementations as well.

I'm trying to map out the spec relationships/dependencies we're intending to create.  Which is closer?

 - Jakarta Data would hold common annotations like the Common Annotations spec and have no dependency on Jakarta NoSQL, Jakarta Persistence.  Jakarta NoSQL, Jakarta Persistence will have a dependency on Jakarta Data and consume these common annotations. Like Commons Annotations, the TCK would be very thin.  The real requirements and TCK tests for those annotations would be decided by the respective users, Jakarta NoSQL and Jakarta Persistence.

 - Jakarta Data is an abstraction on top of Jakarta NoSQL, Jakarta Persistence and have a dependency on Jakarta NoSQL and Jakarta Persistence.  Jakarta NoSQL, Jakarta Persistence will not have a dependency on Jakarta Data.  The requirements and TCK tests that pertain to abstractions over Jakarta NoSQL & Jakarta Persistence will go in Jakarta Data.  To release, Jakarta Data will need compliant implementations of both Jakarta NoSQL and Jakarta Persistence as well as a compliant implementation of Jakarta Data.
