"YANG - A data modeling language for NETCONF", Martin Bjorklund, 13-Jul-09. ( bytes)

YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration and state data manipulated by the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) protocol, NETCONF remote procedure calls, and NETCONF notifications.

"Common YANG Data Types", Juergen Schoenwaelder, 13-May-09. ( bytes)

This document introduces a collection of common data types to be used with the YANG data modeling language.

"Mapping YANG to Document Schema Definition Languages and Validating NETCONF Content", Ladislav Lhotka, Rohan Mahy, Sharon Chisholm, 13-Jul-09. ( bytes)

This draft specifies the mapping rules for translating YANG data models into Document Schema Definition Languages (DSDL), a coordinated set of XML schema languages standardized as ISO 19757. The following DSDL schema languages are used by the mapping: RELAX NG, Schematron and DSRL. The mapping takes one or more YANG modules and produces a set of DSDL schemas for a selected target document type - datastore content, NETCONF PDU etc. Procedures for schema- based validation of such documents are also discussed.

"An NETCONF- and NETMOD-based Architecture for Network Management", Philip Shafer, 27-May-09. ( bytes)

NETCONF gives access to native capabilities of the devices within a network, defining methods for manipulating configuration databases, retrieving operational data, and invoking specific operations. YANG provides the means to define the content carried via NETCONF, both data and operations. Using both technologies, standard modules can be defined to give interoperability and commonality to devices, while still allowing devices to express their unique capabilities. This document describes how NETCONF and YANG help build network management applications that meet the needs of network operators.

"Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of YANG Data Model Documents", Andy Bierman, 18-May-09. ( bytes)

This memo provides guidelines for authors and reviewers of standards track specifications containing YANG data model modules. Applicable portions may be used as a basis for reviews of other YANG data model documents. Recommendations and procedures are defined, which are intended to increase interoperability and usability of NETCONF implementations which utilize YANG data model modules.
