Managing an IT environment requires the exchange of structured data between different agents. The Common Information Model (CIM) is a comprehensive open standard that specifies how managed elements in an IT environment are modelled as a set of common objects and relationships between them. It has however limited support for knowledge interoperability and aggregation, as well as reasoning. By converting the existing CIM model into a format that can be processed by semantic web tools, these limitations can be overcome. This paper describes how CIM can be converted into a Web Ontology Language (OWL) ontology including constructs for which no obvious direct conversion exists, such as CIM qualifiers. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
