[cosmos-dev] FW: Eclipse COSMOS, Apache Muse, and IETF MIB2RMDL effort
|
Mark,
Here's a high level inquiry from Bob Natale
at Mitre.
Not sure if you were copied on this
inquiry. It has some broad implications, so could use your
guidance.
Thanks,
Craig.

Subject: Eclipse COSMOS, Apache Muse, and IETF MIB2RMDL
effort
Hi
Craig,
I am
contacting you because of your participation on the COSMOS project. If
possible could you please:
1.
Review the IETF MIB to Resource Model Description Language (MIB2RMDL) info below
and let me know whether you think that collaboration between COSMOS and MIB2RMDL
makes sense.
2.
Give me an update wrt COSMOS progress.
3.
Let me know whether you see a productive relationship between Muse, COSMOS, and
MIB2RMDL.
At
the IETF O&M Area meetings in Prague (March 18-23), we held a mini-BOF on
the topic of standardizing a methodology to convert SNMP MIBs to SOA/WS resource
model artifacts (tagged as "MIB to Resource Model Description Language"
(MIB2RMDL), using "Language" very loosely in this context). The purpose of
the MIB2RMDL effort is to enable unified service/network/system management from
the SOA/WS management level by making the virtual library of data models
represented by SNMP MIBs and the management instrumentation supporting them
more directly accessible to SOA/WS management applications.
The
O&M Area decided to proceed with further investigation of the MIB2RMDL idea,
with the first step being to establish an e-mail list for discussion of the
proposal. If you would like to participate or even just monitor the discussion,
you can subscribe at https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mib2rdml.
My
hope is that the discussion will lead to sufficient definition and further
acceptance of the MIB2RMDL proposal so that we can charter a formal Working
Group at IETF-69 in Chicago this July.
To
jumpstart the e-mail list discussion, I will produce and post an updated (-01)
I-D in the next week or so, incorporating input/feedback from the Prague meeting
and anything else that might develop on this list in the meantime. (Co-authors
welcomed.) The initial (-00) exploratory I-D is available at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-natale-snmp-mibs-to-ontology-00.txt,
but I recommend waiting for the -01 update.
If
you know of other individuals or groups who might be interested in or able to
contribute to this work, please forward this message to
them.
