The Distributed Management Task Force and the Object Management Group will be collaborating to platform the DMTF standards on the OMG's metamodels.

This is big news, for those of you following this space. This is the clearest roadmap yet to a CMDB standard, and may well render the DCML effort moot.

Why is this the clearest roadmap to a CMDB standard? Looking at both it looks fairly simple to accomplish the same things. Is this simply because you seem to prefer UML? or have a thing against RDF? Take a server and try to map it out in both. I see some things "apparently" missing in DMTF. Or perhaps I just don't know their intent. Model an ILO or DRAC card in a server using that system. Or a set of blade servers.... DCML (from what I've seen / played with) handles those cases fine. Although I do have to admit...I like the UML format and kinda wish that DCML had gone with something like that.

Definitely have a thing against RDF. I've just been through the relational/object-oriented wars and don't see the need for another low level data management standard for solving problems like this. CMDBs are not an AI problem, they are a basic data/class modeling problem. RDF is WAY overkill.
