Embodiment Construction

[0049] Figure 1 is a block diagram depicting an NMS representation system according to the invention, with an external network management interface 10 in a conventional manner, which may comprise a so-called northbound NMS interface. The northbound NMS interface is described eg in 3GPP TS 32.615, specifically chapters 4.1 and 4.3, pages 12-13, showing an XML example of how the data provided by the northbound NMS interface might look. A mapping component 1 is provided for mapping an input UML representation of an information model of an NMS system, eg expressed in 3GPP IRP standard, to an ontology model, eg through an external third-party interface 10, using ontology language syntax such as OWL. UML-OWL mappings are described, for example, in "Extending the Unified Model Language for ontology development" (2004) by K. Baclawski, M. Kokar and P. Kogut.

[0050] The system also includes an enrichment component 2 for enriching the formal ontology model obtained by the mapping comp...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for representation of network management information, comprising a network management system represented through a machine-readable basic network information model comprising a number of network elements with a number of managed objects with instances, and an external network management interface (10). It comprises first mapping means (1) adapted to generate mapping rules for mapping the machine-readable basic network information model to a formal ontology based network information model, information enrichment means (2) for manually and / or automatically enriching the information of the formal ontology based model semantically, thus providing a semantically enriched formal ontology based network information model, processing means (3) adapted to receive the mapping rules from the first mapping means (1), network instance data represented by a generic mark-up language from the external network management interface, and the semantically enriched formal ontology based network information model. The processing means are adapted to automatically instantiate the semantically enriched formal ontology based model using said mapping rules and to transform the enriched formal model comprising instances and ontologies to formal logic statements. The system also comprises a formal model storing means (5) for storing the formal logic statements, forming a semantically extended configuration-aware external network management interface (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for representing network management information and comprising a network management system represented by a machine-readable basic network information model comprising a plurality of managed objects each having a managed object instance Network element and external network management interface. The invention also relates to a method for representing network management information of a management system represented by a machine-readable basic network information model comprising a plurality of network elements each containing a plurality of managed objects with managed object instances and an external network management interface. Background technique [0002] The Telecommunications Management Forum (TMF) is standardizing a next-generation operating system and supporting NGOSS for defining a comprehensive integrated architecture for the development, implementation and deployment of operational and business supp...
