Placeholder for field-level detail. Navigation and strategy notes are below. No connector runbooks, certification, or legal compliance claims here.
What OSM is in 7lens
Section titled “What OSM is in 7lens”OSM (Open Service Catalog Model) is an open technology catalog anyone can adopt. In 7lens, Technology is modelled as Stack → Service → Offering following OSM. That is how the product scales the core model into industry-friendly catalogs and inventories.
Product sources name this layer OSM. There is no separate “CSM” product documented in 7lens; when people say industry-standard inventories around Technology, they mean this OSM-shaped catalog.
How it sits next to CIM and the 7lens data model
Section titled “How it sits next to CIM and the 7lens data model”| Priority | Role |
|---|---|
| DMTF CIM | External information-model north star — align over time; do not claim full CIM compliance here |
| 7lens data model | Product truth — Ontology (Organization, Groups, Technology, Business) |
| OSM | Open catalog / inventory shape for Technology scaling |
Catalogue source: 7lens Groups / OSM (@7lens/contracts) and the OSM repository when applicable.
