Yes:  this was sent to several
folks on the project.    Lets discuss in the leaders call this
week and go from there.

Mark,
 
Here's a high level inquiry from Bob Natale
at Mitre.
 
Not sure if you were copied on this inquiry.
It has some broad implications, so could use your guidance.
 
Thanks,
Craig.

Hi Craig,
 
I am contacting you because
of your participation on the COSMOS project.  If possible could you
please:
 
1. Review the IETF MIB to
Resource Model Description Language (MIB2RMDL) info below and let me know
whether you think that collaboration between COSMOS and MIB2RMDL makes
sense.
 
2. Give me an update wrt
COSMOS progress.
 
3. Let me know whether you
see a productive relationship between Muse, COSMOS, and MIB2RMDL.
 
At the IETF O&M Area
meetings in Prague (March 18-23), we held a mini-BOF on the topic of standardizing
a methodology to convert SNMP MIBs to SOA/WS resource model artifacts (tagged
as "MIB to Resource Model Description Language" (MIB2RMDL), using
"Language" very loosely in this context).  The purpose of
the MIB2RMDL effort is to enable unified service/network/system management
from the SOA/WS management level by making the virtual library of data
models represented by SNMP MIBs and the management instrumentation supporting
them more directly accessible to SOA/WS management applications.
 
The material presented in
Prague is available at http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/07mar/slides/opsarea-7.ppt.
It's relatively short (13 slides or so) and employs the "repetition
is the key to learning" approach (familiar to many from Jeff Case's
many helpful tutorials on SNMP in past years). 
 
The O&M Area decided
to proceed with further investigation of the MIB2RMDL idea, with the first
step being to establish an e-mail list for discussion of the proposal.
If you would like to participate or even just monitor the discussion, you
can subscribe at https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mib2rdml.
 
My hope is that the discussion
will lead to sufficient definition and further acceptance of the MIB2RMDL
proposal so that we can charter a formal Working Group at IETF-69 in Chicago
this July. 
 
To jumpstart the e-mail list
discussion, I will produce and post an updated (-01) I-D in the next week
or so, incorporating input/feedback from the Prague meeting and anything
else that might develop on this list in the meantime. (Co-authors welcomed.)
 The initial (-00) exploratory I-D is available at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-natale-snmp-mibs-to-ontology-00.txt,
but I recommend waiting for the -01 update.
 
If you know of other individuals
or groups who might be interested in or able to contribute to this work,
please forward this message to them.
