IG1358 Intent Based Operation User Guide v1.0.0

This user guide explains the concepts and modelling of intent based operation as specified by TM Forum. The content of the user guide is available as a downloadable document as well as presented on TM Forum’s website dedicated to the TM Forum Intent Ontology (TIO).

Intent based operation is a key component of autonomous networks. The TM Forum technical architecture includes intent management within autonomous domains. Open APIs were updated to allow communicating intent and intent reporting and manage the content of intent. This includes intent being used as part of service management. This is based on the TM Forum intent ontology providing the vocabulary for expressing intent and intent reports. This user guide explains these concepts and how to apply the proposals in practical use cases.
