43Fig. 12Example of entity-relations and relationship rulesLTREGAPTrailLine terminalRegeneratorClient-to-Server Access PointEnd-to-end connection in a transport networklayerEntity RelationsA model is created which defines the relationshipsbetween Managed Objects, anda set of rules is used to define the EntityRelations that may exist. A relationshipbinds attributes of two objects to each other;the objects may belong to the same ordifferent Management Layers. The numberof Object Instances involved in a relationshipis identified. Relationships may evenexist between instances of the same object;they are then called recursive relationships.Relationships can be described by applyingthe following orthogonal relationshiprules:-containingan object contains another object (physicalor logical decomposition)-terminatinga logical connection between logical objects-linkinga physical connection between physicalobjects- managinga managing relationship between objects-listinga point-to-multipoint relationship betweenobjects.Fig. 12 shows the basic rules <strong>for</strong> Entity Relations.In order to be consistent, the term"entity" has been replaced by "object". TheFigure shows examples of relationshiprules and an example of a ManagementIn<strong>for</strong>mation Tree based on the relationshiprule "containing".The Figure shows, <strong>for</strong> example:- A first object containing n Object Instancesis related by certain rules to a secondobject containing m Object Instances- A line terminal is linked to a regenerator.A Client-to-Server Access Point terminatesa Trail- An Operations System controls a MediationDevice, which controls a NetworkElement- A bay contains shelves.The containment relationship can be usedto obtain the Management In<strong>for</strong>mationTree shown in Fig. 12:DIG-MUX (which IS A transmission equipmentaccording to Fig. 11) contains replaceableunits, or a replaceable unit ispart-ofDIG MUX.Each Managed Object is identified by aname. The name can be derived by combiningthe name of the superior object in theManagement In<strong>for</strong>mation Tree with a namingattribute (name binding). The ManagementIn<strong>for</strong>mation Tree can be used <strong>for</strong>name binding.There are manageable resources in thedifferent Management Layers, both in telecomnetworks and TMN networks. Thefunction of the telecom network is based onthe resources of the telecommunicationequipment. The equipment appears as resourcesin Network Elements, and Network
