Dear colleagues,

The ONF Open Information Modeling & Tooling (OIMT) team would like to share with ITU-T SG15
and MEF the TR-512 v1.3.1-info release. This release has been approved by the OIMT Technical
Steering Team (TST).

The attached zip file consists of the following:

- a ReadMe.txt file
- a TR-512.1_v1.3.1_OnfCoreIm-Overview.pdf file
- a ModelDescription folder, which contains a suite of model description documents
- a OnfModel folder, which contains the Papyrus UML model files and Profile files
- an UmlFigures folder, which contains the PNG images of the figures being used in
the description documents
The TR-512 v1.3.1-info release includes a suite of documents and the XMI-encoded UML model
developed using the open source Papyrus tooling. The description documents are built on those
of V1.2 as shown in the following table.

TR-512.FE Future Enhancement Was 512.10 in V1.2
TR-512.GT Gendoc Templates Was 512.11 in V1.2

Here is a summary of major updates from v1.2 to v1.3.1

 General

o Change to document structure:

 To focus numeric series on describing the model
 Adding an appendix ("A") series that provides further
explanation
 Adding a "double letter" series to capture ongoing
model support material
o Clean up of model structure
 Forwarding and Termination
o Photonic/Media model including examples in an Appendix
o Deprecating of NE, SdnController and NetworkControlDomain
(replaced by the Control model and
ProcessingConstruct/ConstraintDomain (see below)
o LtpHasServerLtp is changed from composition to aggregation
 Foundation
o Enhancements to the state model
 Topology
o FdPort added to model as an optional
o Aggregation of FD by FD via
HigherLeeFdEncompassesLowerLevelFDs allows for many FDs
to aggregate the same subordinate FD and this is reflected in
the FcHasLowerLevelFc association multiplicity
o Added explanation of use of model to support:
 Serial-Compound Link
 Inverse Multiplexing
 Transitional Link
 Multi-Port Links
 State depedency
o Added a clarification of the definition of Link
o Explained the relationship between topology and the new
control model
o Enhanced the explanation of the approach of using the FC to
represent the Call
o Added explanation of the Resource-Service Continuum
 Resilience
o G.8032 model with examples of use in an Appendix
o Use of scheme spec concept
o Timing protection
 Equipment
o Upgrade of some classes and attributes from experimental to
preliminary or mature
o Integration with PC model providing an enhanced support for
"Equipment protection" (via a model of function resilience)
  Specification
o Improved introductory material
o Refinements to the model to improve the decoupling of
specification from the specified class
o Addition of scheme spec concept
 Addition of the Control model
o In conjunction with Processing Construct and Constraint
Domain (see below) this provides:
 A full consistent model of control
 A replacement for the NE
 Addition of Operations Pattern model
o This provides a generalized model of operations for an
outcome-oriented interaction
 Addition of Processing Construct (PC) and Constraint Domain (CD)
o This provides a generalized representation of functionality
beyond Forwarding and Termination
 Addition of supporting information on patterns underpinning the
model

ONF appreciates the close collaboration with ITU-T SG15 and MEF in the development of the
CoreModel and would like to take this opportunity to thank ITU-T SG15 and MEF again for their
continuous valuable input and the active participation of many individual experts in the OIMT,
OTCC TAPI, OT-IM and IISOMI discussions.

Sincerely,
Kam LAM, Co-Chair OIMT Project
Nigel Davis, Co-Chair OIMT Project
