“…Several publications exist that attempt to create a conversion of CIM to OWL. In [6] the authors compare possible conversions of CIM to RDFS (Resource Description Framework Schema) and to OWL. They find that RDFS is unsuitable to express CIM as it "does not provide constructs for expressing cardinality restrictions such as those used for describing association or aggregation relationships between CIM classes".…”

“…To allow for semantic interoperability in IT management, a corresponding management ontology is required, and in [5], CIM has been proposed for this purpose. As [6] points out, CIM is usable for inferring properties about distributed systems, but is a semi-formal ontology with limited support for knowledge interoperability and aggregation, as well as reasoning. To create an IT management domain model that overcomes these shortcomings, a conversion of CIM to OWL is desirable.…”

Abstract.Managing an IT environment requires the exchange of structured data between different agents. The Common Information Model (CIM) is a comprehensive open standard that specifies how managed elements in an IT environment are modelled as a set of common objects and relationships between them. It has however limited support for knowledge interoperability and aggregation, as well as reasoning. By converting the existing CIM model into a format that can be processed by semantic web tools, these limitations can be overcome. This paper describes how CIM can be converted into a Web Ontology Language (OWL) ontology including constructs for which no obvious direct conversion exists, such as CIM qualifiers.

“…A key differentiator between our approach and the traditional AN approaches is that while we rely on tags in the packet stream, it is the router (using its specified policies) that controls how the packet is handled and not the other way. [10], [3] are relevant work directed at development of formal ontologies and tools to facilitate network management and control. In this paper, we present our architecture for realizing intelligent policy based networks.…”

Abstract-Policy based networks provide high levels of flexibility by allowing definition of packet handling rules within a network, resource allocation strategies, network management, or access control. Commonly used policy specification mechanisms are, however, limited in their expressibility and rely mostly on packet headers that convey limited information about the semantics of the content. We propose a new model for policy based networking that utilizes the W3C Web Ontology Language tags carried in data packets that can provide detailed semantic information about the packet or stream. Using this model, a policy decision point can reason over these tags and infer the correct set of operations to invoke. Policies are expressed in the W3C Semantic Web Rule Language using a common ontology and take into consideration the content of the streams, relevant contextual information and external domain constraints. Using this framework, fine grained, highly specialized services can be offered within the network that are context-aware, easy to manage, deploy and verify for consistency.
