Policy Core Information Model (
PCIM) is defined in
RFC 3460 and
RFC 4524 and presents the
Object-oriented Framework for representing
policy information developed jointly in the
IETF Policy
Framework Working Group and as extensions to the
Common Information Model (
CIM) activity in the
Distributed Management Task Force (
DMTF).
Policy Core Information Model model defines two hierarchies of object classes:
- structural classes - representing policy information and control of policies, and
- association classes - that indicate how instances of the structural classes are related to each other.
Subsequent documents will define mappings of this information model to various concrete implementations, for example, to a directory that uses LDAPv3 as its access protocol.
Policy Core Information Model provides a Framework for a Policy Based Management System
