Common Management Information Services
CMIS

   <networking> (CMIS) Part of the {OSI} body of network
   {standards}.

   Network management information services are used by {peer
   process}es to exchange information and commands for the
   purpose of {network management}.  CMIS defines a message set
   (GET, CANCEL-GET, SET, CREATE, DELETE, EVENT-REPORT and
   ACTION), and the structure and content of the messages such
   that they might be used by "open" systems.  In concept, it is
   similar to {SNMP}, but more powerful (and hence more complex).

   {ISO}/{IEC} 9595.
