4 Modeling Data in OSM

Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) is a model-driven software system. The data you model drives the behavior of your overall OSM solution.

You model data for OSM entities, such as tasks and orders, using simple and structured data elements from the Oracle Communications Design Studio Data Dictionary.
