The goals and requirements of the IDMEF are described in {[}3{]}. Two implementations of the IDMEF data format have been proposed: one using the Structure of Management Information (SMI) to describe an SNMP MIB, and the other using a Document Type Definition (DTD) to describe XML documents. Both representations appear to have their good and bad traits, and deciding between them is difficult. To arrive at an informed decision, the working group tasked the authors to identify and analyze the pros and cons of both approaches, and present the results in the form of an Internet-Draft.}, }
