Intro

The Common Information Model (CIM) is an extensible, object-oriented data model that contains information about different parts of an enterprise. The CIM is a cross-platform standard maintained by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). Through WMI, a developer can use the CIM to create classes that represent hard disk drives, applications, network routers, or even user-defined technologies, such as a networked air conditioner.
