Abstract
An indication of an occurrence of an event is received. A first ontology (124) is accessed and selected information associated with the occurrence of the event is obtained from the first ontology (124). A second ontology (122) is then accessed and at least one first rule associated with the occurrence of the event is obtained from the second ontology (122) by using at least in part the selected information from the first ontology (124).
Claims17
A method of obtaining rule-based information in an ontological system comprising:
- receiving an indication of an occurrence of an event from at least one managed element;
- wherein the event indicates a change in state of the at least one managed element;
- accessing a first ontology and obtaining selected information associated with the occurrence of the event from the first ontology;
- accessing a second ontology and obtaining at least one first rule associated with the occurrence of the event from the second ontology by using at least in part the selected information from the first ontology;
- and
- applying the at least one first rule and responsively determining a cause of the event.
A method of obtaining rule-based information in an ontological system comprising:
- receiving an indication of an occurrence of an event from at least one managed element;
- wherein the event indicates a change in state of the at least one managed element;
- accessing a first ontology and determining selected information associated with the occurrence of the event;
- informing a second ontology of the selected information obtained from the first ontology and responsively obtaining at least one first rule associated with the event from the second ontology by using at least in part the selected information from the first ontology;
- and
- applying the at least one first rule and responsively determining a cause of the event.
A device comprising:
- an interface having an input and an output;
- a memory adapted and configured to store a first ontology and a second ontology;
- and
- a controller coupled to the interface and the memory, the controller being programmed to receive an indication of an occurrence of an event from at least one managed element;
- wherein the event indicates a change in state of the at least one managed element at the input of the interface and to access the first ontology and retrieve selected information associated with the event from the first ontology, the controller being further programmed to access the second ontology and obtain at least one first rule associated with the event from the second ontology using at least in part the selected information and applying the at least one first rule and responsively determining a cause of the event.
