!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([DEN]) A data model that is the [LDAP] mapping of [CIM] (the [Common Information Model]).  [RFC 3198]

[{$pagename}]'s goals are to enable the deployment and use of [policy] by starting with common service and user concepts (defined in the information model), specifying their mapping/storage in an [LDAP]-based repository, and using these concepts in vendor/device-independent policy rules [[DMTF]].

[{$pagename}] is not a product, or even a technology. [{$pagename}] is a specification that defines an information model.[1]
