The shared Information & Data Model - SID
The
SID framework is central to the NGOSS key principle of improving
OSS/BSS system interoperability. A shared information and data
model provides a “common language” for software providers and
integrators to use in describing management information, which
in turn allows easier and more effective integration across
OSS/BSS software applications provided by multiple vendors. The
Shared Information/Data (SID) Model captures the concepts and
principles necessary in defining a shared information model, and
also defines in detail many of the business elements (known in
the SID as “Entities”) of interest to service providers and the
attributes which describe these entities. The SID provides
business oriented UML class models, as well as design oriented
UML class models and sequence diagrams to provide a system view
of the information and data. |
