Subject: RE: [dcml-frame] Meeting info
Darrel, How far along is your organization in arriving at a reference schema for CMDB and Configuration Items? Ultimately, it would be a worthwhile effort to map out the various components and relationships in CMDB in DCML and expose the same through well defined public interfaces and transport mechanisms. There was some discussion today wrt usage of CIM or borrowing its representation and XML notations, after further investigation. SMASH (which you refer to) is another effort worth looking into. We may be able to leverage each other's expertise here.

One thing we discussed yesterday at the Apps/Services meeting was the beginnings of discussion around modeling to a CMDB/CI construct - where does Framework see our starting point, so we're on the same page? Also, we're planning on providing a reference schema of a CMDB and CI to the group as soon as possible from the EDS team - we'd like to make sure we have a clear strategy on the right starting point for this integration to ITIL. Finally, the use case on the ITIL-CMDB/CI interface may be somewhat abstract now - do we plan to drill down to the exposure of the CI/CMDB/DSL components being exposed to a service and marshaled through the associated Service Desk/Service Support processes of ITIL for completeness? Or, will we start with some level of building block on the foundational aspects of ITIL on top of element management schemes such as CIM (SMI-S, SMASH, etc.) thru to SOA functions such as WSDM that need the process intelligence and integration to our ITIL strategies?

Other fleshed out use cases to follow. - All to think about volunteering for document editor, which we will need soon. -- Tim Tim Howes wrote: > Hi all.
