摘要：Nowadays, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is utilized to improve network management, but the management standardization of SDN itself is still under development. This paper focuses on the integration problem of management information models for SDN, and in order to understand the principles of unified information modeling for SDN management, it tries to apply the theory of concept lattices to learn concept hierarchy from the YANG language for SDN management. Thus, this paper first obtains formal contexts from YANG statements, and then studies formal concepts from the viewpoint of posets so as to learn concept hierarchy from YANG. Case study shows that, the proposed approach is feasible and promising to promote unified information modeling for SDN management.
