An intent-based language is need to enable customers to easily describe their diverse intent for network connectivity to the network management systems. This document describes the problem Intent-Based NEtwork Modelling (IB- NEMO) language is trying to solve, a summary of the use cases that demonstrate this problem, and a proposed scope of work. Part of the scope is the validation of the language as a minimal (or reduced) subset. The IB-NEMO language consists of commands exchanged between an application and a network manager/controller. Some would call this boundary between the application and the network management system as northbound interface (NBI). IB-NEMO focuses on creating minimal subset of the total possible Intent-Based commands to pass across this NBI. By creating a minimal subset (about 20\% of the total possible) of all intent commands, the IB-NEMO can be a simple Intent interface for most applications (hopefully 80\%). Part of validation of this command language is to to provide test cases where a set of commands are used to convey information for a use case which result in a particular data model in the network controller.}, }
