XSDs and the SID Information Model

Make the Best of Your NGOSS Initiative

The Shared Information/Data (SID) model is a central component of the TeleManagement (TM) Forum’s Next Generation Operations Systems and Software (NGOSS) initiative. The TM Forum added XML Schema Definition (XSD) representations to the original Unified Modeling Language (UML) definitions for the SID model. The SID XSDs provide the basis for developing reusable data models for integrated business applications. But the XSDs are just the beginning. The whitepaper, XSDs Are Not Enough: Leveraging Telco’s Abstract SID Information Model for an SOA, discusses the state of the SID model, and need to modify, extend, and update the SID model.
