| .0> what are they talking about and does MCC provide this?
For the first part of your question:
if you don't know (no reason why you should) you don't need to
know to answer the question.
For the second part of the question:
Yes.
MCC is built on the fundamental EMA and Entity Model concepts,
which are themselves making use of OO modeling techniques.
Thus, the specification part of managed objects (MSL) is making
use of OO modeling.
Also, the Entity Model (and hence MCC) is consistent with the
OSI SMI - future versions (of both the Entity Model and MCC) will
provide more complete alignment with the just-finalised� OSI SMI.
Well, now we've got that out the way - what *is* OO techniques and
modeling all about. Well, put briefly, its the idea that one
encapsulates in an object both information and operations and you can
only access the object (and it's contained information) by invoking
operations *on* the object. Thus you always access objects through
well defined interfaces. Now, to be fair, there's a lot more than that
to it - but if you want to know a lot more, you probably need to start
reading books (or at least articles) on the topic.
�Actually, while it's been finalised, we are only this week getting
copies of the documents.
