3.1.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The document is organized in order to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with what is described in this document.

The abstract data model for this protocol includes elements that are specific to this protocol and others that are shared between multiple MSMQ protocols that are co-located at a common queue manager. The shared abstract data model is defined in [MS-MQDMPR] section 3.1, and the relationship between this protocol, a queue manager, and other protocols that share a common queue manager is described in [MS-MQOD].

Section 3.1.1.1.3 details the elements from the shared data model that are manipulated by this protocol, and sections 3.1.1.1.4 through 3.1.1.1.6 detail the data model elements that are specific to this protocol.
