PolicyKeywordsstring[]
DescriptionstringAn array of keywords for characterizing / categorizing policy objects. Keywords are of one of two types: - Keywords defined in this and other MOFs, or in DMTF white papers. These keywords provide a vendor- independent, installation-independent way of characterizing policy objects. - Installation-dependent keywords for characterizing policy objects. Examples include 'Engineering', 'Billing', and 'Review in December 2000'. This MOF defines the following keywords: 'UNKNOWN', 'CONFIGURATION', 'USAGE', 'SECURITY', 'SERVICE', 'MOTIVATIONAL', 'INSTALLATION', and 'EVENT'. These concepts are self-explanatory and are further discussed in the SLA/Policy White Paper. One additional keyword is defined: 'POLICY'. The role of this keyword is to identify policy-related instances that may not be otherwise identifiable, in some implementations. The keyword 'POLICY' is NOT mutually exclusive of the other keywords specified above.
