RE: NIM BoF

[DEBEAU Eric DvSI/SIReS/LAN <eric.debeau@rd.francetelecom.fr>]

I think this is a good idea to take into account the work done within TINA
based on ODP viewpoints. I did not follow the discussion on information and
data, but I do believe that information maps on informational ODP viewpoint
and data maps on Engineering viewpoint. An important work has also be
undertaken within ITU-T SG4/Q.18 (series G.85x) for the transport network
management. It should be useful to consider the model G.853.1 described
following the ODP information viewpoint. This model is based on G.805
concepts and is very similar to the NRIM model developped by TINA.

There is also a book explaining all these concepts : Achieving Global
Information Networking

	Andrea,

	I agree with Joan Cucchiara's statement at this morning's NIM BoF
session in 
	regard to the need to explicate the NIM concepts and model within
the 
	general context of protocol development. To be more specific about
what is 
	meant by "protocol", I refer you to the following two works:

	Elements of Network Protocol Design, by Mohamed G. Gouda (Wiley,
1998)
	
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471197440/o/qid=965232112/sr=2-2/102
-9323651-8129762

	Object-Oriented Network Protocols, by Stefan Boecking
(Addison-Wesley, 2000)
	
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201177897/qid%3D965232523/102-932365
1-8129762

	I also suggest that you list the modeling work of TINA
(Telecommunications 
	Information Networking Architecture) and ODP in your slides for the
sake of 
	completeness. There are five models in TINA/ODP that the group
should be 
	aware of: enterprise/business, informational, computational,
engineering, 
	technology. It may be valuable to compare/contrast these five models
to the 
	two types of models discussed this morning: information and data.
(I'm going 
	from memory here, so perhaps someone from TINA/ODP can correct me if
I've 
	named the models incorrectly.)
