The TM Forum Information Framework (SID) provides the common language for communicating the concerns of the four major groups of constituents represented by the four NGOSS Views. Used in combination with the Business Process Framework (eTOM) and activity descriptions it becomes possible to create a bridge between the business and Information Technology groups thereby providing definitions that are understandable by the business, but are also rigorous enough to be used for software development. In short, The SID provides the NGOSS information model that is a representation of business concepts, their characteristics and relationships, described in an implementation independent manner.
