Abstract

A management system has a reconciliation engine that reconciles information describing resources from a computer network service and stores reconciled information in a database. An editing engine or server is used to access and search reconciled information in the database based on at least one search criterion. Preferably, the search criterion is user-entered. The editing engine is then used to create at least a portion of a service model of the computer network service using reconciled information obtained through accessing and searching the database. Preferably, creating the service model is done with a graphical user interface application that enables a user to graphically build and modify aspects of the service model. When the service model is created or updated, a publishing engine or server is used publish at least a portion of the service model to one or more impact managers of the computer network service.
