Note:
The notion of a business area is not strict. That is, some business areas are overlapping. Thus, a logical entity can belong to, or be needed in, several business areas. Some logical entities are not explicitly listed because they either only represent a relationship between tables, are not critically important to any business area, or are simply lookup entities. For more information, see Business Areas and Subject Areas in Oracle Communications Data Model.The following are the business area logical data model entities:

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), is a network technology based on transferring data in cells of a fixed size. The cell used with ATM is relatively small compared to that used with older technologies. In principle, the small, constant cell size allows ATM equipment to transmit video, audio, and computer data over the same network, and assure that no single type of data can dominate network traffic. ATM creates a fixed route between two points whenever data transfer begins. This differs from TCP/IP, in which messages are divided into packets and each packet can take a different route from source to destination. This difference makes it easier to track and bill data usage across an ATM network, but it makes it less adaptable to sudden surges in network traffic. |
|
Reference |

|
Reference |
This entity represents managed entities, such as power supplies, fans, and cables, which are required for the proper operation of the Device but have a primary function that is different than the primary end-user function(s) of the Device. The difference between Auxiliary Components and other subclasses of EQUIPMENT are whether the physical object performs a function intrinsic to the main function of the Device. For example, consider a ROUTER. The routers main function is to route and forward packets. A Power Supply is an Auxiliary Component, because even though it is needed for the proper operation of the ROUTER, it does not directly help in routing and forwarding packets. A Line Card, that provides routing functionality, is a subclass of EQUIPMENT because its purpose is to route and forward packets. Similar examples exist for different types of equipment, where their criteria may be different. For example, instead of whether it routes or forwards packets, the criterion "does it carry signal" may be useful to appropriately classify components. |

This is the abstract base entity for all composite entities that are inherently manageable and form a PRODUCT. The key difference between network element and COMPOUND ELEMENT is that network element describes either a Physical or a Logical entity. In contrast, COMPOUND ELEMENT describes managed entities that are collections of other managed entities. A key point is that each managed entity that is part of a COMPOUND ELEMENT can be individually managed as either a PHYSICAL ELEMENT or a LOGICAL ELEMENT. |
|
Reference |
An entity that is individually manageable. A Compound Element Collection is an aggregate entity consisting of NETWORK ELEMENT and optionally Compound Element Collection entities. As such, a Compound Element Collection represents a set of PHYSICAL ELEMENTs and LOGICAL ELEMENTs that collectively represent a managed entity. For example, a Network is a subclass of Compound Element Collection. A Network can be made up of other Networks and SubNetworks. Each Network or SubNetwork can be made up of physical and logical components, gathered and represented by an Element Collection. Each node in the network can be represented by a NETWORK ELEMENT. |

Reference |
This is the abstract base entity that defines the invariant characteristics and behavior, attributes, methods, constraints, and relationships, of a COMPOUND ELEMENT. The key difference between a Compound Element Spec and either a PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPEC and a LOGICAL ELEMENT SPEC is that a PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPEC and LOGICAL ELEMENT SPEC define templates for specifying the invariant characteristics and behavior of PHYSICAL ELEMENTs and LOGICAL ELEMENTs, respectively. In contrast, a Compound Element Spec describes templates that contain at least one PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPEC and at least one LOGICAL ELEMENT SPEC. Optionally, one or more Compound Element Specs may also be specified. Thus, a Compound Element Spec is in effect a "shorthand notation" for specifying complementary PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPECs and LOGICAL ELEMENT SPECs. |
|
Reference |
This entity describes specific attributes, behavior, relationships, constraints, and semantics for building COMPOUND ELEMENT objects. The purpose of this entity is to track specifications of COMPOUND ELEMENTs separately from other types of Element Specifications. This entity inherits the Modifies Element Spec aggregation, and therefore can be used with the corresponding COMPOUND ELEMENT entity. The key difference between a COMPOUND ELEMENT SPEC and either a PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPEC and a Logical Element Type is that a PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPEC and Logical Element Type define templates for specifying the invariant characteristics and behavior of PHYSICAL ELEMENTs and LOGICAL ELEMENTs, respectively. In contrast, a COMPOUND ELEMENT SPEC describes templates that contain at least one PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPEC and at least one Logical Element Type. Optionally, one or more COMPOUND ELEMENT SPECs may also be specified. The difference between a Compound Element Spec Atomic entity and a COMPOUND ELEMENT SPEC COMPOSITE entity is that a Compound Element Spec Atomic entity is designed to be a standalone entity. Note that it still aggregates at least one PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPEC and at least one Logical Element Type; however, the result is that this Compound Element Spec Atomic entity can be used by itself.) In contrast, a COMPOUND ELEMENT SPEC COMPOSITE entity is made up of one or more COMPOUND ELEMENT SPECs, one of which must be a Compound Element Spec Atomic entity. |

Optionally, one or more COMPOUND ELEMENT SPECs may also be specified. The difference between a COMPOUND ELEMENT SPEC ATOMIC entity and a Compound Element Spec Composite entity is that a COMPOUND ELEMENT SPEC COMPOSITE entity is designed to be a standalone entity. (Note that it still aggregates at least one PHYSICAL ELEMENT SPEC and at least one Logical Element Type; however, the result is that this COMPOUND ELEMENT SPEC ATOMIC entity can be used by itself.) In contrast, a Compound Element Spec Composite entity is made up of one or more COMPOUND ELEMENT SPECs, one of which must be a COMPOUND ELEMENT SPEC COMPOSITE entity. |

Reference |
A Element Unit is an entity that is individually manageable. The Compound Element Unit is an aggregate entity consisting of both physical and logical aspects of a managed Element. For example, a ROUTER is a Element Unit. Different PHYSICAL ELEMENT objects can model the physical aspects of the ROUTER in detail. For example, its CARDs, the number and type of PHYSICAL PORTs that are on each CARD, and so forth), and different LOGICAL ELEMENT objects can model the logical aspects of the ROUTER in detail (For example, what Software it is running, how many DEVICE INTERFACEs of what type are currently enabled, if there are any outstanding Faults or Alarms, and so forth). Resource Element aggregates all PHYSICAL ELEMENT and LOGICAL ELEMENT objects, enabling a high-level view of the physical and logical aspects of the Element to be provided. |

This is the base entity for defining CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs. A CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE is an abstraction that defines the characteristics and behavior of a particular SERVICE as seen by the Customer or other appropriate PARTY ROLE. Thus, this PARTY ROLE purchases, leases, uses, and/or is otherwise directly aware of this type of SERVICE. This is in direct contrast to RESOURCE FACING SERVICEs which support CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs but are not seen or purchased directly by the Customer. For example, a VPN is an example of a CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE, while the sub-services that perform different types of routing between network devices making up the VPN are examples of RESOURCE FACING SERVICEs. |

|
Lookup |
This entity defines CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECs that do not have any subordinate CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECs. In other words, a Customer Facing Service Spec Atomic is a standalone CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPEC, and does not require any supporting CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECs to define the invariant characteristics (that is, non-changing attributes, methods, relationships, and constraints) of any CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs that it serves as a template for. |
|
Lookup |
This entity defines an integrated set of CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs that collectively meets the needs of a SERVICE requested by a Customer. For example, the Customer may have requested GoldService, which is a SERVICE PACKAGE that defines a set of SERVICE BUNDLEs, each of which has its own QoS. Each individual CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE that is part of the SERVICE PACKAGE can be derived from a CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPEC. In this case, a Customer Facing Service Spec Composite will aggregate all of the individual CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECs into a single named object. This object is a standalone object. However, it consists of other Customer Facing Service Spec Composite and/or the CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPEC ATOMIC entities. That is the primary difference between this entity and the Customer Facing Service Spec Atomic entity. |

This is a concrete entity that represents the (logical) interface or sub-interface of a device. This entity is not a transmission entity; rather, DEVICE INTERFACEs are used to program SERVICEs and LOGICAL ELEMENTs on a Device. For example, use a Device Interface to program a logical connection from a device to a network medium. Different types of Device Interfaces exist for the different types of network media. For example IP compared with ATM, that are used in a network to enable such media to be programmed. The combination of a LOGICAL DEVICE and a Device Interface is what a developer programs to define SERVICEs that run on the device. |
|

For example, calls can be diverted when a subscriber is busy on another call, or when the subscriber has switched off the handset, or when a subscriber is not reachable. The subscriber can later retrieve all calls that are stored on the mailbox by accessing the mailbox through specified numbers or using the Internet, in case of UMS. All this traffic generated by diverted calls and retrieved calls is to be analyzed based on the type of call such as diverted or retrieved. The Divert Retrieve type helps in achieving this analysis by organizing calls as diverted or retrieved calls. |

Names and Service Providers for relevant Networks. The full details of a service provider are found in the PARTY and Organizations entities. A Network is a managed object that represents an aggregation of interconnected telecommunications and management objects capable of exchanging information. The reason that a Network is subclassed from Element Collection is that it is important that a Network represents physical and logical characteristics and behavior of this collection of telecommunications and management objects. A Network has the additional semantics of having one or more common characteristics and/or behavior. For example, a network may be owned by a single customer or provider, or be associated with the delivery of a specific set of services. A network may be nested within another (larger) network, thereby forming a containment relationship. An example of a network that is contained in another network is a transmission sub-network. The Network is owned by a single Administration and can only perform transmission functions. |

The Network Element Role Assignment also serves as the parent entity for defining the classes that implement the Roles Describe Physical Element, Roles Describe LOGICAL ELEMENTs, and Roles Describe Compound Element relationships. |
|
Reference |
Defines the semantics of the Element Roles Managed By Party Role association. The Element Roles Managed By Party Role association defines the set of Element Roles that are managed by a particular PARTY ROLE.

This entity is the root of the POLICY model. As such, it defines common attributes, methods and relationships that all policy subclasses use and take part in. |
|
Reference |
This entity represents how to form the action clause of a POLICY RULE. This consists of a single occurrence of a POLICY STATEMENT, which is of the form: {variable, operator, value} Policy actions have the semantics of "SET variable to value". There are two types of actions: - pass actions are invoked if the condition clause was TRUE - fail actions are invoked if the condition clause was FALSE. |
|
Reference |
This entity specifies the semantics needed for the contained Policy Actions aggregation. |
|
Reference |
This is the base entity for all simple POLICY ACTIONs. A simple POLICY ACTION consists of a single Boolean clause, which performs a single action. This consists of a single occurrence of a POLICY STATEMENT, which is of the form: {SET | CLEAR} POLICY VARIABLE to POLICY VALUE. This is distinctly different from the Policy Action Vendor, which does not use a POLICY STATEMENT. Policy Action Atomic objects can also be used to form more complex action structures. A Policy Action Composite object contains a group of Policy Action Atomic objects; this grouping enables multiple Policy Action Atomic objects to be executed as a group. Alternatively, a Policy Action Atomic object can contain one or more Policy Action Atomic objects (and also Policy Action Composite groups if desired) to provide the semantics of a compound Policy Action. In either case, the aggregation is done using the contained Policy Actions aggregation. |
|
Reference |
Serves as a generic container in which to place Policy Action Atomic, Policy Action Vendor, or Policy Action Composite entities. The first two provide actions that this container groups, while the latter establishes a hierarchy in which to order the execution of POLICY ACTIONs. Both simple and complex POLICY ACTIONs can be placed in this container. Each Policy Action Atomic and Policy Action Vendor object is linked to this object using the containedPolicy Actions association. |
|
Reference |
This entity specifies the semantics needed for the Policy Action In Policy Rule aggregation. This aggregation defines the set of POLICY ACTIONs that are contained in this POLICY RULE. |
|
Reference |
Provides a general extension mechanism for representing POLICY ACTIONs that have not been modeled with the attributes specified in this model. This entity uses two of its properties (Constraint and Constraint Encoding) for defining the content and format of a vendor-specific condition. Its third property (actionResponse) to provide a standard result, so that this object can be placed with other POLICY ACTION objects in a POLICY RULE object. Standardized extensions are not expected to use this entity. |
|
Reference |
This is an association class that explicitly defines which Managed Entities in a Policy Domain this Policy information applies to. |
|
Reference |
This entity represents how to form the condition clause of a POLICY RULE. This entity represents rule-specific or reusable policy conditions. Policy conditions are of the form: {variable, operator, value} where the operator is usually the MATCH operator, but could be another type (for example, compare) of operator. This gives the semantics of "IF the condition is TRUE (or FALSE)". The subclasses of POLICY CONDITION, along with its recursive aggregation, enable simple and compound (for example, nested) POLICY CONDITIONs to be supported by the same structure. |
|
Reference |
This entity specifies the semantics needed for the Policy Condition In Policy Condition aggregation. This aggregation defines the set of POLICY CONDITIONs that are contained in this POLICY CONDITION. Note that the POLICY CONDITION Contained Policy Condition Details entity and the Policy Condition Rule Details entity have conceptually the same attributes. This is because they both provide semantics to form a condition expression. The difference lies in their placement relative to the POLICY RULE entity. That is, the Contained Policy Condition Details entity combines individual expressions within a condition clause, whereas the Policy Condition Rule Details entity describes how the completed condition clause appears to the POLICY RULE. These attributes are described in the Data Dictionary section of this Addendum. |
|
Reference |
This is the base entity for all simple policy conditions. A simple policy condition consists of a single Boolean clause, which tests a single condition. This consists of a single occurrence of a POLICY STATEMENT, which is of the form: {variable, operator, value} This design relies on the POLICY STATEMENT to supply the actual terms to form the condition clause. Thus, since everything is normalized to a condition clause, no subclasses of Policy Condition Atomic are needed. Instead, subclasses of the appropriate POLICY STATEMENT classes are provided. A compound POLICY CONDITION consists of one or more POLICY CONDITIONs contained inside a higher-level POLICY CONDITION. These can optionally be grouped by a POLICY CONDITION COMPOSITE object if desired. |
|
Reference |
The POLICY CONDITION COMPOSITE entity is the base entity for all complex policy conditions. A complex policy condition consists of an aggregation of POLICY CONDITION ATOMIC and POLICY CONDITION COMPOSITE objects, which in turn form a complex Boolean statement. Note that such an object still evaluates to a single Boolean TRUE or FALSE value. Conceptually, this is a standalone object that consists of one POLICY CONDITION that provides an overall context for either a nested or a group of subordinate POLICY CONDITIONs to be evaluated. |
|
Reference |
This entity specifies the semantics needed for the Policy Condition In Policy Rule aggregation. This aggregation defines the set of Policy Conditions that are contained in this POLICY RULE. The Contained Policy Condition Details entity and the Policy Condition Rule Details entity have conceptually the same attributes. This is because they both provide semantics to form a condition expression. The difference lies in their placement relative to the POLICY RULE entity. That is, the Contained Policy Condition Details entity combines individual expressions within a condition clause, whereas the Policy Condition Rule Details entity describes how the completed condition clause appears to the POLICY RULE. These attributes are described in the Data Dictionary section of this Addendum. |
|
Base |
Represents an aggregation of Policy Events, constrained according to the eventConstraint attribute of the Event Details aggregation entity. This set of Policy Events is then presented to one or more POLICY RULEs to trigger the evaluation of their condition clauses. This entity enables an external application, such as a Policy Server, to dynamically adjust the set of events that are being used to trigger the evaluation of a POLICY RULE. |
|
Base |
Represents the occurrence of a single atomic event, which triggers the evaluation of the condition clause of a POLICY RULE. |
|
Base |
Represents the occurrence of a composite event. A composite event is an event that is made up of a set of Policy Event Atomic and/or Policy Event Composite entities. Like a Policy Event Atomic, a Policy Event Composite can also be used to trigger the evaluation of the condition clause of a POLICY RULE. |
|
Reference |
This entity is a generalized aggregation container. A Policy Group enables POLICY RULEs and POLICY GROUPs to be aggregated in a single container. Note that loops, including the degenerate case of a POLICY GROUP that contains itself, are not allowed when POLICY GROUPs contain other POLICY GROUPs. |

This is an association entity that defines the semantics associated with a Policy Event Set being applied to a POLICY GROUP. Specifically, it controls through its Execution Filter attribute which components in the POLICY GROUP this Policy Event Set will be passed to, so it can be evaluated. |
|
Reference |
This is a concrete entity for modeling different types of operators in a POLICY STATEMENT. By restricting the type of operator used in a POLICY STATEMENT, one can effectively restrict the semantics of that POLICY STATEMENT. |
|
Reference |
Defines the relationship between POLICY OPERATOR and POLICY VARIABLE. |
|
Reference |
This entity defines the concept of various types of roles for different policies that are used. |
|
Reference |
Entity for realizing the "event-condition-passaction-failaction" semantics that form a the model policy rule. The semantics of this rule are that the rule is evaluated when an event occurs. If the condition clause is satisfied, then the pass-action clause will be executed (otherwise, the fail-action clause will be executed). POLICY RULEs may be nested within POLICY RULEs. This is often needed in networking (for example, bandwidth allocation). |
|
Reference |
This entity defines two types of collections. POLICY RULE collects Policy Events, POLICY CONDITIONs, and POLICY ACTIONs, while POLICY GROUP collects POLICY RULEs and POLICY GROUPs. Two important and powerful features of this arrangement are that a POLICY SET defines a common decision strategy and a common set of POLICY ROLEs to be used by the POLICY GROUPs and the POLICY RULEs that inherit from it. |
|
Reference |
Defines relationship between POLICY SETs. |
|
Reference |
This entity models the triplet {variable, operator, value} that is used by both the POLICY CONDITION and POLICY ACTION entities. The semantics are reflected in the types of operators that are allowed to be used in each case. For conditions, users want the semantics of "variable relates to value", where "relates to" is usually the match operator, but could also be other applicable operators (for example, a comparison operator). For actions, users want the semantics of "set variable to value". Here, the only operator allowed is the set operator. |
|
Reference |
An abstract base entity for modeling different types of values that occur in a POLICY STATEMENT. The POLICY VALUE specifies an attribute that should either be set or cleared (if used in a POLICY ACTION) or matched or compared to a value of the POLICY VARIABLE in a POLICY CONDITION. |
|
Reference |
This entity models different types of variables that form a POLICY STATEMENT. The variable specifies an attribute or concept that should either be matched or compared to a value when the condition is evaluated. |
|
Reference |
This is an association class that contains the OCL expression that will be used to define the particular semantics of how this Value is constrained by this Variable. This includes constraints such as upper and lower bounds of the value that a POLICY VALUE object can take. |

Represents a generic specification for defining the different types of Sub-Services that are required to implement a specific type of QoS. This enables business rules to be mapped to the network, and define services that the network provides. A QoS Service can be thought of as an aggregation of sub-services needed to realize the functionality specified by, for example, a SERVICE BUNDLE. This enables the network administrator to map business rules, as specified in a more abstract object or set of objects, to the network, and the network designer to engineer the network such that the network provides different functions for different types of applications. QoS Services are a type of RESOURCE FACING SERVICE and are bundled together using SERVICE BUNDLEs. QoS Services can be turned into templates using SERVICE BUNDLE SPECs. The QoS Service itself is a means to coordinate different technology-specific approaches to implementing QoS, such as DiffServ, ToS, and IEEE 802.x. As such, the QOS Service entity is an abstract entity. |

This is the base entity for defining Resource Facing Services. A Resource Facing Service is an abstraction that defines the characteristics and behavior of a particular SERVICE that is not directly seen or purchased by the Customer. Resource Facing Services are "internal" Services that are required to support a CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE. The Customer purchases CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs, and is not aware of the Resource Facing Services which support the CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE(s) that is being purchased directly by the Customer. For example, a VPN is an example of a CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE. This particular type of VPN may require BGP to support it. Customers do not purchase BGP, and hopefully are not even aware that BGP is running. Therefore, BGP is an example of a Resource Facing Service. |

Conceptually, a Service Bundle is thought of as a collection of Element Facing Service Specifications. This entity enables the needs of different sets of Element Facing Service Specifications to be grouped together - hence, the name "bundle". Since these are Resource Facing Specifications, they define reusable templates for implementing the Element Facing Services that are required by a particular CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE (as represented by a SERVICE PACKAGE). Service Bundles were designed to define a set of Class of Service specifications that were required by a CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE to work together. A SERVICE PACKAGE is the entity that models the requirements of the CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE. Thus, SERVICE PACKAGEs can specify different packaging of CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE that are sold to the Customer, and Service Bundles specify the set of Element Facing Services that each CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE requires. Service Bundles are a natural way to implement the requirements of a SERVICE PACKAGE, and are related to a SERVICE PACKAGE through the Service Package Uses Service Bundles aggregation. |

Reference |
A Service Bundle Spec is the base entity for defining the different classes of bundled Element Facing Service Specs that a Customer (or some other appropriate PARTY ROLE) can subscribe to. The preferred way to represent a Customer subscription of this nature is by defining a Service Bundle Spec that defines the set of Element Facing Service Specs that are being used. Conceptually, a Service Bundle Spec is thought of as a collection to enable the needs of different sets of Element Facing Service Specs to be grouped together. The "bundle" conveys the concept of grouped Service Specs that are related. Since these are Resource Facing Specifications, they define reusable templates for implementing the Element Facing Services that are required by a particular CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE (as represented by a SERVICE PACKAGE). |

A Service Bundle Spec Atomic object models different SERVICE BUNDLE SPECs as a set of different instances of individual, independent Element Facing Service Specs. This is fundamentally different than the SERVICE BUNDLE SPEC COMPOSITE entity, which models one SERVICE BUNDLE SPEC COMPOSITE as the combination of other existing SERVICE PACKAGE SPECs (as well as providing its own extensions). For example, assume that the Gold Package service offering (which is a subclass of Service Package, not SERVICE PACKAGE SPEC), requires two different CoS Service instances. This may be because the Gold Package service offering has two different groups of applications that require two different types of traffic conditioning mechanisms. This is represented by a Service Bundle Spec Atomic object. Now, assume that the Platinum Package service offering includes the Gold Package service offering and a new service offering requiring a new set of traffic conditioning mechanisms. This requires a second Service Bundle Spec Atomic object, as users want to reuse the first Service Bundle Spec Atomic object. These could be aggregated to form an instance of a SERVICE BUNDLE SPEC COMPOSITE entity. |

A Service Bundle Spec Composite defines an integrated set of SERVICE BUNDLE SPECs that collectively meets the needs of a Element Facing Service Spec Composite entity. This is fundamentally different than the Service Bundle Spec Atomic object, which models one Service Bundle Spec as the combination of other existing SERVICE PACKAGE SPECs (as well as providing its own extensions). For example, assume that the Gold Package service offering (which is a subclass of SERVICE PACKAGE, not SERVICE PACKAGE SPEC), requires two different CoS Service instances.

A Service Package is derived from an associated SERVICE PACKAGE SPEC. The SERVICE PACKAGE SPEC defines the invariant attributes, methods, relationships, and constraints for all Service Package instances that are derived from it. This entity enables each individual Service Package to add its own application-specific changeable characteristics and behavior. There is no specific aggregation used to relate a particular Service Package to the SERVICE PACKAGE SPEC that it is derived from. This is because the SERVICE PACKAGE SPEC and Service Package both inherit the Specifies Service aggregation, and at this (the business level) view, there are no new semantics that are required to represent this relationship. Finally, while the composite pattern could be applied to Service Package, there is no perceived need to do so. Multiple Service Packages will simply be aggregated by a Product Bundle, and appear as separate Product Components. |

A Service Package Spec defines the concept of bundling a set of different CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECs to meet the functionality specified by one or more Product Specifications. This entity enables the specification of the invariant characteristics and behavior of these CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs, so that multiple PRODUCTs can be built from their associated Product Specification. Treating this set of CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE SPECs as a single object is important for building complex Services, such as a VPN. This entity enables a single Product Item, derived ultimately from a Product Specification, to be offered to the Customer, even though in reality the Product Item consists of a set of different CUSTOMER FACING SERVICEs that must work to provide the functionality that the Customer needs. |

This is fundamentally different than the Service Package Spec Composite object, which models one SERVICE PACKAGE SPEC as the combination of other existing SERVICE PACKAGE SPECs (as well as providing its own extensions). For example, Gold Package Spec is an individual packaging of services, and is therefore an instance of the Service Package Spec Atomic entity. If there was a service offering that combined the services defined by the Gold Package Spec with those defined by another Service Package Spec Atomic entity, such as the Platinum Package Spec, then that combination could be aggregated, forming an instance of the Service Package Spec Composite entity. |

This entity defines a SERVICE in terms of a set of roles. The roles are then used to characterize the functionality of the Service, regardless of whether it is a Element- or a customer-facing service. Service Roles represent the functionality of a Service, and as such are a mix of the invariant and changeable characteristics and behavior of a Service. Representing a SERVICE in terms of Service Roles enables the functionality of the SERVICE to be defined independently of Business Actor, PHYSICAL ELEMENT, LOGICAL ELEMENT, or other Services. |

This entity defines the ServiceSpecification hierarchy. All Services are characterized as either being directly visible and usable by a Customer or not. This gives rise to the two subclasses of Service: CUSTOMER FACING SERVICE and ElementFacingService. However, each instance of a Service is made up of changeable as well as invariant attributes, methods, relationships and constraints. A ServiceSpecification defines the invariant characteristics of a Service. It can be conceptually thought of as a template that different Service instances can be instantiated from. Each of these Service instances will have the same invariant characteristics. However, the other characteristics of the instantiated Service will be specific to each instance. This entity can be thought of as a template, which represents a generic specification for implementing a particular type of Service. A ServiceSpecification may consist of other ServiceSpecifications supplied together as a collection. Members of the collection may be offered individually or collectively. ServiceSpecifications may also exist within groupings, such as within a Product. |

A Shelf is a type of Equipment Holder that is designed to hold various types of Equipment. The Shelf has a logical identifier that is often relative to the Bay that contains the Shelf (that is, the unique identifier for a Shelf is often a concatenation of the network element identifier, the Bay identifier, and the Shelf identifier). The logical identifier of a Shelf is typically associated with the Device (that is, the Network Element). Compare this to a RACK, whose logical identifier is not associated with the Device. Thus, the Shelf is explicitly a part of the logical model of a network. Often, a Shelf contains not just pluggable components (for example, CARDs, Power Supplies, and so on) but also cabling (for example, both fiber and wire), with optional connections to external fuse, alarm, and other types of panels. |

This entity represents software. Software represents the set of user visible functions and processes that are contained in a device. The Has Software Features association defines software that is associated with a LOGICAL DEVICE, such as programs and operating systems. Since this software can be associated with devices and/or device components, this association is defined between the roots of the two classes. Software may be nested within other software, thereby creating a containment relationship (which is part of the system view). Currently, the subclasses of this class reflect user-facing features. For example, features that are manageable, configurable, and executable by users and applications. Internationalization and Language functionality are supported by creating a Software Uses Language association to the Language classes. |
|
Reference |
This entity represents atomic units of software that are individually manageable and do not form composite, or nested, software units. From a finite state machine view, each Software Atomic element is not just individually manageable, but is also installable, executable, and runnable. In addition, each Software Atomic element can be a FRU. This is the super-class for creating concrete subclasses that define particular functionality. For example, a device driver, or software that implements MPLS as part of a larger routing software package. |

Reference |
Software Commands describe the sets of features that are programmable by a particular PARTY ROLE. For example, a Developer, or Network Operator, and in rare cases, an End User. This should not be confused with Capabilities. Capabilities define what features and functions are available at a given moment for the Element. Thus, Software Commands represent the specific commands that are available in a device, whereas Capabilities represent higher-level generic functions available in a Element. For example, the ability to perform BGP routing is a Capability, whereas the actual commands used to implement BGP routing are Software Commands. |
|
Reference |
This entity represents software units that are made up of other software units (that is, instances of this entity and the Software Atomic base entity). This provides the semantics of collecting a set of components, each of which is individually manageable, and being able to manage the set of objects as a whole. An example is an operating system - this is manageable as a unit, but consists of individually manageable components. This containment is modeled using the Contains Software Components composition. From a finite state machine view, each Software Composite element is manageable, installable, executable, and runnable. In addition, each Software Composite element can be a FRU. This is the super-class for creating concrete subclasses that define groups of functionality. For example, set of features that work to provide application-level functionality to the end-user. |
|
Reference |
Software Feature Sets describe the groups of Software Commands that distinguish a particular release of Software. The Software Commands contained in the Software Feature Sets are programmable by a particular PARTY ROLE (for example, a Developer, or Network Operator, and in rare cases and End User). Often, Software Feature Sets are used by the manufacturer to define a custom or semi-custom build of software, or are provided as a set of options that are orderable by the Customer. This should not be confused with Capabilities. Capabilities define what features and functions are available at a given moment for the Element. Thus, Software Feature Sets represent groups of commands that are available in a device, whereas Capabilities represent higher-level generic functions available in a Element. For example, the ability to perform BGP routing is a Capability, whereas the actual commands used to implement BGP routing are Software Commands that reside in one or more Software Feature Sets. Hence, Software Feature Sets may or may not offer BGP as a programmable feature. |

This entity represents different types of switching protocols that can be managed. Switching protocols are those protocols that enable routing to take into account layer 2 information, such as bandwidth and QoS. (Remember that traditional routing protocols are designed to evaluate each frame's layer 3 header only). Several methods are available for accomplishing the task of looking at layer 2 information and defining a next hop. Most now use the concept of a label, which is a means to define the next hop without evaluating all of the information of a traditional header. |

This entity provides two basic attributes to define custom value objects that can be used in an application-specific fashion. These two attributes are called valueModelAttribute and valueModelClass. The valueModelAttribute is a string attribute that defines the name of the attribute within the entity specified in the valueModelClass attribute that is to be evaluated or set as a POLICY VALUE. The valueModelClass is a string attribute that defines the entity name whose attribute is to be evaluated or set as a POLICY VALUE. This combination enables new custom subclasses of Value Custom to be defined that specify the entity and attribute that they are modeling. These new subclasses can be found by users of the current the model schema by searching for these two properties. That also enables the model users to immediately understand the purpose of new extensions. |
|
Lookup |
Lookup for unit of measure for the value. For example a customer or a profile can be valued in terms of monetary value or time (a customer for next three years). |
|
Reference |
This is the abstract base entity for defining a set of standardized POLICY VALUEs. This set of POLICY VALUEs will be added to over time, and represents a set of common values that are useful in a variety of PBNM applications. The subclasses of Value Standard are a set of classes that define the semantics of commonly occurring variables that occur in PBNM applications. |
|
Lookup |
Lookup for available type codes and descriptions pertaining to defining the derived value of a CUSTOMER or PROSPECT. |
|
Reference |
There are two subclasses of POLICY VARIABLE, called Variable Custom and Variable Standard. The Variable Custom entity defines a set of standardized policy variables for use in an application-specific manner. The term "custom" means that such variables are explicitly designed to work with attributes that are not in any of the model Variable Standard subclasses. Thus, the particular semantics, including any applicable constraints, are not known to the model. This entity provides two basic attributes to define custom variables to use in an application-specific fashion. |
