Information Models
- Information Models are used to model managed objects at a
conceptual level, independent of any specific protocols used to
transport the data (protocol agnostic).
- The degree of specificity (or detail) of the abstractions
defined in the information model depends on the modeling
needs of its designers.
- In order to make the overall design as clear as possible,
information models should hide protocol and implementation
details.
- Information models focus on relationships between managed
objects.
- Information models are often represented in Unified Modeling
Language (class) diagrams, but there are also informal
information models written in plain English language.
