being Primates, have all of the Attributes (or Properties) or Primates,
but have additional properties, such as Nationality. By convention, in a
UML diagram of CIM classes, only properties specific to a class, and not
those inherited from the parent class and those above, are shown. But
the inherited properties are also understood to be present.
Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
A standard developed by the DMTF that defines network protocols for
the communication of CIM objects and operations. WBEM is a set of
management and Internet standard technologies developed to unify the
management of enterprise computing environments.
Web Server
Web servers act as HTTP servers, but in addition they enable a wide
variety of other capabilities (e.g., running CGI scripts). The distinction
between an HTTP server and a Web server is critical to understanding
the security implications of HP WBEM Services for HP-UX. HP WBEM
Services for HP-UX uses an embedded HTTP server not a web server.
xmlCIM
A specification for the CIM document type, a specialization of the
eXtensible Markup Language (XML) that describes how CIM objects and
operations should be encoded using XML for communication over a
network. The full xmlCIM specification can be found on the DMTF web
site.
