Talk:Common Management Information Service

mistake in article name?

Maybe it should be 'Common Management Information Services' instead of 'Common Management Information Service'. I read this in a course book, it might be a mistake. They wrote it (abbreviated) as CMIS/CMIP. I wondered how they prounounce it (I wondered if it was like in TCP/IP = TCP over IP), so I checked this page. If anyone has answers to the questions above, please edit the page. --Bernard François 23:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Common management information service -> Common Management Information Service

Per WP:CAPS and WP:TITLE: this is a proper noun referring to a single international standard, not some general class of common management information services. — Dgtsyb (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose - Not a proper name, common management information service is just a concept. Stick with the MoS - no need for an exception here. Jojalozzo 02:18, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it is a specific international standard specified in ITU-T Recommendation X.710, ISO/IEC International Standard 9595. As the name of a specific and uniquely defined standard service interface (see X.200 for what a service interface is) it is a proper noun. It is a proper noun, just as Simple Network Management Protocol. — Dgtsyb (talk) 06:04, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose all the capitalization requests by Dgtsyb until he produces evidence for the claims that these are propoer names; none of the ones that I have checked in book are. Dicklyon (talk) 05:55, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

• Support. I'm afraid this article is discussing a specific solution, just like its protocol counterpart. It is not a generic discussion on common management information services. Thus, it is a proper noun and should be upper-cased. Nageh (talk) 23:38, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

• Support This article doesn't describe the generic concept of managing information in common. It's describes a specific standard set by the ITU-T, part of the OSI model. --Enric Naval (talk) 20:52, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

• Support. This is the Common Management Information Service. There may be other common management information services, but that's not what the article is about. See also Talk:Intelligent network#Requested move. Andrewa (talk) 06:33, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

• Support, given what the article is about, it seems to be a proper noun - a specific standard, not a general concept.--Kotniski (talk) 08:24, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
