Axioms for SNABOK, a System and Network Administration Body of Knowledge : missing link stage of ontology process

Abstract

SNABOK, a system an network administration body of knowledge, is coined as an attempt to complement the well-known and quite influential SWEBOK (software engineering body of knowledge) for the less prominent but equally critical profession of system and network administration. General remarks concerning the scope and limits of a SNABOK are discussed and cast in terms of ‘axioms’. Preliminary to a Stoneman, Ironman or Steelman version which should eventually emerge, Missing Link work expresses individual views. SNABOK axiomatization constitutes a part of the Missing Link documentation of SNABOK development.
