5.1 Common Baseline Information Model (CBIM)

CBIM provides the basic structure of UDC IOCs. It shall enable an operator to integrate the user data to be stored in the UDR.

5.2 Application Information Models (AIM)

NOTE: The present clause introduces AIM. AIM may be imported from existing applications or may be generated from information elements already existing in the UDR.

An AIM should contain IOCs for

– the Service Profile(s) of the particular application,

– Identifier(s) used by the application

and additionally, if needed, any other IOC defined in CBIM. E.g. related End Device, if such is to be connected to one or more identifiers within the application.

5.3 Specialised Information Model (SpIM)

NOTE: The present clause describes building the SpIM from CBIM and AIMs with consolidation of semantically identical data.

SpIM is the Information model containing all information to be stored in the UDR. A Specialized Information Model is operator specific. An implementation of the entire Specialized Information Model in the User Data Repository for all the applications leads to the Consolidated Data Model.
