ABSTRACT:
A schema is provided that describes specific executables and parameters. Relationships between the executables and parameters are also defined. The schema is provided to represent SCM and IM tasks uniformly. Information regarding a specific component is represented by the schema. The schema may then be used to describe metadata for specific components. For example, the schema provides information for components such as how the component is comprised (its parts), its relationship to other components (i.e., dependencies), its parameters, the parameters' constraints and dependencies, etc. This provides a universal framework that is independent of specific component and can be used for SCM as well as for IM.
