Interface Model Mapping Adapter in Network Management: From CORBA to Ontology

This paper proposes a new way to complete the interface model mapping from CORBA to ontology in the field of network management, which is interface model mapping adapter. The adapter consists of three parts, which are CORBA interface analyzer, mapping controller and ontology information database. The adapter can automatically map the CORBA interface model to ontology interface model. Therefore, we can use the output of the adapter to establish the ontology-based network management information model, which is much helpful for the research of unified network management.
