2.6.3 Extensibility

Three major extension points are related to WM protocols: locale (for example, language) identifiers, schema, and available commands. None of these concepts is included in or defined by this document, but WM protocol messages refer to them.

For information about locale identifiers that individual WM protocols use, see [MS-WMI] section 3.1.4.1.4, [MS-WSMV] sections 3.1.4.1.8 and 3.1.4.1.9, and [MS-WSMAN] section 3.1.4.1.10.

A major purpose of WM protocols is to enable access to CIM objects, so references to the CIM schema are pervasive in [MS-WMI], [MS-WSMV], and [MS-WSMAN], and in their normative references. For details of CIM schema, see [DMTF-DSP0004].
