Abstract
A system, apparatus and method are described for displaying multiple attributes relative to objects in a network management program. In one embodiment, multiple attributes from a plurality of different standards are coalesced together and the coalesced attributes are displayed by a user interface. These coalesced attributes may be shown in such a manner so that inconsistencies between attributes of objects from different standards are reduced or obviated.

12. A user interface apparatus for displaying a state model of a plurality of attributes relative to a plurality of standards, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first graphical display showing a first state of a first one of the plurality of attributes associated with a first one of the plurality of standards; a second graphical display showing a second state of a second one of the plurality of attributes associated with a second one of the plurality of standards; and wherein the first and second ones of the plurality of attributes are common to the first and second ones of the plurality of standards. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
