This view defines and describes the characteristics of a single managed
object, treated in isolation. Managed objects are made visible through the
OS and are
abstractions of managed elements, or of parts of the management solution.
A managed object presents a view of a resource or set of resources for the
purposes of management. A managed object contains attributes (c.f.
#fnsa1#2257>) and may be
capable of performing operations and emitting notifications. These classes
are specified using a template, and registered with globally unique
identifiers.
