1. A computer system for requesting networked device information, comprising:
- a processor;
a data store communicatively coupled with the processor and comprising;
one or more data identifier groups hierarchically specifying data available from one or more networked devices; and
a data retrieval tool comprising a set of instructions executable by the processor to obtain data from a network device wherein the data retrieval tool is arranged to request the data from the network device based on a data identifier group.

Abstract
A computer system for and method of requesting networked device information is described. The computer system comprises a processor and a data store. The data store comprises one or more data identifier groups hierarchically specifying data available from one or more networked devices and a data retrieval tool comprising a set of instructions executable by the processor to obtain data from a network device. The data retrieval tool is arranged to request the data from the network device based on a data identifier group.

9. A method of requesting networked device information, comprising:
-
determining a device identifier from a device identifier group where the device identifier corresponds to device information received from a networked device; determining a data identifier group from a property grouping where the data identifier group is based on information in the device identifier; and generating a data request for the networked device based on the data identifier and device identifier. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
