WBEM,
under the control of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), is based on
a new object model, a new management protocol on top of HTTP as the network
management platform. WBEM proposed the way for the encoding of the Common
Information Model (DMTF CIM) schema in XML. The DMTF CIM is an object-oriented
information model, providing a conceptual framework within which any management
data may be modeled. Allowing DMTF CIM information to be represented in the
form of XML brings the benefits of XML and its related technologies to
management information, which uses the DMTF CIM meta-model. The XML encoding
specification defines XML elements, written in Document Type Definition (DTD),
is used to represent DMTF CIM classes and instances. The encoded XML message
could be encapsulated within HTTP. Further, WBEM defines a mapping of DMTF CIM
operations onto HTTP that allows implementations of DMTF CIM to operate in a
standardized manner.
