| | TM Forum's Information Framework (SID) is a key element of the TM Forum Frameworx Integrated Business Architecture and is in use worldwide by service providers and vendors. It provides a common reference model for Enterprise information that service providers, software providers, and integrators use to describe management information.
Information Framework allows easier, more effective integration between software applications. It provides the concepts and principles needed to define a shared information model, the entities of the model, as well as the business-oriented UML class models, design-oriented UML class models, and sequence diagrams that enable implementation of TM Forum Frameworx-conformant service oriented solutions.
