MIMOSA, CCOM, BOD, OAGIS


MIMOSA provides a series of interrelated information standards. The Common Conceptual Object Model (CCOM) provides a foundation for all MIMOSA standards, while the Common Relational Information Schema (CRIS) provides a means to store enterprise O&M information.

While CCOM provides an object model and canonical XML representation of that model, the XML representation is often unsuitable for more than just basic data integration. The Open Applications Group Integration Specification (OAGIS) Business Object Document (BOD) message structure is used to provide additional message concepts that encapsulate a MIMOSA CCOM payload. 

BOD structure

The major components of the BOD are:

  • The Application Area is for transactional meta-data, such as identifiers associated with the sender, a creation time stamp, and a unique identifier for the BOD.
  • The Data Area contains a Verb (in other words, the operation) as well as a Noun (the business object of that operation).
  • The Verb can indicate either what operation to perform (for example, Get) or a response to an operation (for example, Show).
  • The Noun instance contains the data representing the business object that is being managed. The Nouns in this case, are composed of MIMOSA CCOM data structures.

Organization
