Abstract
This paper examines the theory used by fault management to model the network state and events. The proposed information model includes four fault management viewpoints supporting situational, functional, logical and physical analysis within the respective networks. Object-oriented analysis is applied to structure the information. The correlation of the network situation is represented in description logic. The proposed classification algorithm is applied to structure the situational information.

Keywords: Network management; structure of management information; fault management; management viewpoints.
