Common Model of System Information

Introduction

You are viewing data described using the CMSI standard (see here for a general introduction). Additional ressources regarding CMSI are available on the CMSI homepage.

The model you are viewing is stored as an XML-file and rendered using an XSLT-stylesheet. By viewing the source directly in your browser or by downloading the XML-file and opening it in an editor, you can examine all details. This rendering tries to make viewing and understanding the model more comfortable by pretty-printing the information contained in the model.

The model contains the following components:

• Category Tree: Top-level structure of a model of system information is a category tree.
• Product Families: The leaves of the category tree are formed by product families.
• Meta Data: Meta data is divided into
  • Type Definitions: Type definitions can be reused when defining product families and node attributes (see below).
  • Node Attributes: Node attributes define attributes that have to be filled out for those nodes of the category tree and those product families to which they apply.

Category Tree

The category tree is displayed as unordered list. For each node, the machine-readable tag is displayed in brackets. Alternative names of a node and node attributes are not shown -- please refer to the XML source.

Product families form the leaves of the tree, by clicking on a tree, you can jump to the description of each product family.
