CIM Schema

CIM Schema is a computer specification, part of <a href="/facts/Common_Information_Model_(computing)/B8MTC0kh">Common Information Model</a> standard, and created by the <a href="/facts/Distributed_Management_Task_Force/rIh0qDbI">Distributed Management Task Force</a>.
It is a conceptual diagram made of classes, attributes, relations between these classes and inheritances, defined in the world of <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> and <a href="/facts/Computer_hardware/8jSjsCNv">hardware</a>. This set of objects and their relations is a conceptual framework for describing computer elements and organizing information about the managed environment.
This schema is the basis of other DMTF standards such as <a href="/facts/Web-Based_Enterprise_Management/3lzqbFqq">WBEM</a>, <a href="/facts/Systems_Management_Architecture_for_Server_Hardware/WRaKzrbE">SMASH</a> or <a href="/facts/Storage_Management_Initiative_-_Specification/wX2JSyHh">SMI-S</a> for storage management.
