Subject: "Object Resources" terminology between documents
In-Reply-To: Mail from 'mmdf@nic.near.net Tue Mar 9 16:27:40 1993' dated Tue, 9 Mar 93 16:27:40 EST Sorry for the cross posting but this could potential affect both groups.

(and sorry for the repost, because I messed up the first time)
  
      Earlier I had a difficulty with the term "object resources" used both
  in the administrative model and the snmpMIB.  The terms seem to have entirely
  different semantics in the two documents.
  
       In the security document it refers to the managed objects within a 
  MIB view defined within a context.
  
     In the SNMPv2 document it is a table of resources advertised by the
  vendor.  Each of these resources is described by an OID and a display string.
  
          Therefore I think it would avoid confusion if the references within
  the OR group of the snmpMIB were changed to something along the lines of
  "advertised enterprise resources".  Would this be leaving the semantics of the
  OR group?  Or is this concern just a frivilous worry and no one else cares?
