ABSTRACT:
A software object model for modeling (resource instances and resource types in a network management system. The model comprises object instances and object classes. Each class comprises fragments of data and/or program code and is a generalization of one or more object instances. The model models each resource type by an object class and assigns to the class a class version identifier which indicates at least some capabilities of the resource instance/types and a collection of the fragments included in the class of the version in question. The model further models each resource instance by an object instance of the corresponding class, and assigns to the instance an object instance identifier and an instance version identifier which indicate the version of the class used for modeling the resource type in question.
