The Information Model definesthe types and contents of messagesacross the interface which are suitable formanaging a given Managed Object. A ManagedObject is the data representation ofa physical or logical Resource in the managedsystem as seen by the managingsystem across the management interface.In accordance with CCITT RecommendationX.722 (Guidelines for the definition ofManaged Objects), a Managed Object isdefined by the following characteristics:- The attributes visible at its boundary. Attributeshave one or more associatedvalues- The management operations that maybe applied to a Managed Object. Operationscan manipulate the value of aManaged Object attribute (GET, SET,ADD, REMOVE) or the Managed Objectitself (CREATE, DELETE)-The notifications emitted by the ManagedObject- The behaviour exhibited by a ManagedObject in response to management operations- The Conditional Packages that can beencapsulated in the Managed Object. AConditional Package is a collection ofoptional attributes, notifications, operationsand behaviours which are either allpresent or all absent in a Managed Object.Managed Objects with similar attributesand behaviours may be grouped into aspecific object class.
