Abstract
Functionality and corresponding procedures are described for building a management system. The management system provides description language content (such as markup language content) which describes different aspects of the management system in a declarative manner. The management system also includes generic resource content for performing various general purpose tasks that can be applied to different applications of the management system. The management system provides a specific management-related service by combining the description language content with the generic resource content. In other words, the description language content effectively tailors the generic code content to provide the management-related service. One aspect of the description language content governs a manner of populating management information to be presented by the management system. Another aspect of the description language content governs a manner of displaying the retrieved management information to a user. Another aspect of the description language content governs a manner whereby the user can interact with displayed management information.
