  Common Management Information Services
  CMIS
  
     (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.
