 | Level: Advanced Contributors: IBM, Computer Associates, Talking Blocks 12 Sep 2003 The WS-Manageability specification introduces the general concepts of a manageability model in terms of manageability topics and the aspects used to define them.
The WS-Manageability - Specification begins by introducing the general concepts of a manageability model in terms of manageability topics, (identification, configuration, state, metrics, and relationships) and the aspects (properties, operations and events) used to define them. These abstract concepts apply to understanding and describing the manageability information and behavior of any IT resource, not just Web services. We use these concepts to organize our approach to Web services manageability. The manageability model for Web services endpoint is defined as concrete models in UML using the topics and aspects concepts, without implying any particular implementation or locus of implementation. Appropriate manageability interfaces are defined based on the UML manageability models. While some parts of this model may be useful for modeling the manageability of any IT resource, this specification is focused exclusively on the requirements of Web service endpoints and does not propose a complete generic resource
manageability model. The WSDM "Management Using Web Services" specification may incorporate these more generic models. This document is provided as a submission to the OASIS Web Services Distributed Management Technical Committee and to the Web service community in general.
