- Service Modeling Language (SML) is an XML-based specification that is used
to model complex IT resources, services and systems, including their
structure, constraints, policies and best practices. An SML model
defines a consistent way for computer networks, applications, servers and
other IT resources are described or modeled to assist businesses to manage
their services that are built on these. The SML specification leverages
Schematron and unique XML Schema extensions to implement these models.
- SML-IF
- Service Modeling Language - Interchange Format (SML-IF) defines an
implementation-neutral interchange format that preserves the content and
interrelationships among documents.
- SML repository
- In the SML tooling, this is a flat-file based directory structure.
Each file in the structure contains an SML document. The Import
operation creates SML document files based on the top level resources found in
an input SML-IF document.
- SML validation
- Validating an SML model in accordance with the SML specification.
- SML-IF validation
