Now very out-of-date:
http://murchiso.com/den/
Also:
http://www.dmtf.org/spec/denh.html
After many months of waiting, the DEN extension/implementation schema
specification still does not appear to have been released to the public. :-(
According to Strassner's book (chapter 8):
- the DEN Physical Model was merged into CIM 2.1
- the DEN Logical Model was merged into CIM 2.2
- the DEN Policy Model will be merged into CIM 2.3
Additionally, "DEN will be released in the winter 1999 timeframe as a formal
specification that includes these models, as well as appropriate portions of
the Core and Common models." Presumably this is the "universal" northern
hemisphere winter, which means it oughtta be out by now (given that it's
2000).
Some companies have already started releasing products that are heading
towards DEN functionality (eg., Cisco has released CNS/AD in IOS - Novell has
started extended the NDS schema, etc.).
Cheers..
