It provides a way to organize a collection of management objects into meaningful relationships. For example, a CIM_ComputerSystem object might contain a CIM_Disk, Processor A, and Processor B. The CIM_ComputerSystem has an association with each of the objects it contains. Because this particular association is a containment association, it is represented by a class called CIM_contains. The CIM_contains class contains references to each of the objects that belong to the association. In this case, CIM_contains has a reference to Solaris_Disk and a reference to CIM_ComputerSystem.

 <B>CIM</B> \Label{CIM} -  Common Information Model is the schema of the overall managed environment. It is divided into a Core model, Common model and extended schemas.

Versions of this schema will be released by the DMTF over time as the schema evolves. <B>CIM</B> \Label{CIM} -  Common Information Model is the schema of the overall managed environment.

 <B>Class</B> \Label{Class} -  A collection of instances, all of which support a common type; that is, a set of properties and methods. The common properties and methods are defined as features of the class. For example, the class called Modem represents all the modems present in a system. Common model A collection of models specific to a particular area, derived from the Core model. Included are the system model, the application model, the network model and the device model.  <B>Class</B> \Label{CLASSDEFINITION} -  A collection of instances, all of which support a common type; that is, a set of properties and methods.

The Core model is set of classes and associations that establish a conceptual framework for the schema of the rest of the managed environment. Systems, applications, networks and related information are modeled as extensions to the Core model. <B>Core model</B> \Label{Core model} -  A subset of CIM, not specific to any platform.
