Step-by-Step Guide: Authoring SML Models for Capturing and Validating Best Practices This document introduces authoring SML models that can be used with the SML runtime library and discovery providers. This document uses a specific “best practice” scenario to demonstrate authoring the components of an SML model. |

SML Technical Reference This document provides an overview of the SML architecture as it relates to the declarative discovery functions. |
SML Specifications
- SML 1.0 Specification
This specification defines SML and explains how it is used to model complex IT services and systems, including their structure, constraints, policies, and best practices. - SML-IF 1.0 Specification
This specification defines the implementation-neutral interchange format for the documents that comprise an SML model.
SML Schemas
- SML Schema
SML uses a profile of XML Schema 1.0 and Schematron as the schema language. - SML-IF Schema
SML defines a set of extensions to the XML Schema to support interdocument references.
