1. A method for managing a plurality of heterogeneous data sources, comprising:

  • identifying the plurality of heterogeneous data sources, the plurality of heterogeneous data sources representing static data sources and management data streams received from servers for network management;

    encapsulating the plurality of heterogeneous data sources into data source containers, wherein each data source container encapsulates a separate data source;

    mapping data source containers into an interdependent source graph with object links between the data source containers representing relationships existing between the data source containers;

    querying the interdependent source graph by traversing the interdependent source graph using data source container relationships to obtain management information about at least one of the data sources; and

    rendering management information obtained while querying to a management program on the management server to provide a unified view of the management information.
