Summary

Recommendation ITU-T X.782 defines a set of guidelines for managed object modelling and a management interface for web services-based network management. It composes a framework for web services-based network management interfaces along with Recommendation ITU-T Q.818. It specifies how service-oriented web service interfaces should be defined. It covers the suitable application scenario of web services in network management interfaces, generic accessing methods of XML-based managed objects, information modelling in web service WSDL and XML schema. Some WSDL definitions and XML schema are provided for defining some basic data types: generic managed object (MO) and generic MO accessing methods. This Recommendation and Recommendation ITU‑T Q.818 together compose a framework for web services-based network management interfaces with a wide range of applications.
