32.1813GPPFramework for Model Handling and ManagementRelease 17Telecommunication managementTSUser Data Convergence (UDC)

The present document specifies the framework for overall management of the User Data Convergence.

In order to accommodate multiple applications and services, existing and new ones, the framework for model handling and management of the UDC as identified by TS 22.101 includes the following items:

– UDC information models:

– UDC information model infrastructure containing the common baseline information model (CBIM), application information models (AIM), and the specialised information model (SIM). The CBIM is standardised in TS 32.cde [4].

– UDC information model handling:

– provide a template and guidelines explaining the design of application information models to be used together with the common baseline information model to create the specialized information model

– describe the process to combine the common baseline information model with application information models in order to produce an operator-specific specialised information model

– Application management data:

– access control data for an application to UDC: identification and authentication

– assignment to an application data model, including linkage to the consolidated data model

– subscription rights for specific events on specific data of specific users

– Consolidated data model management

– lifecycle management of the consolidated data model in the UDR and in the provisioning entity.

– activation/deactivation of application adaptation
