                          YANG Module Library

Abstract

   This document describes a YANG library that provides information
   about all the YANG modules used by a network management server (e.g.,
   a Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) server).  Simple caching
   mechanisms are provided to allow clients to minimize retrieval of
   this information.

1.  Introduction

   There is a need for standard mechanisms to identify the YANG modules
   and submodules that are in use by a server that implements YANG data
   models.  If a large number of YANG modules are utilized by the
   server, then the YANG library contents needed can be relatively
   large.  This information changes very infrequently, so it is
   important that clients be able to cache the YANG library contents and
   easily identify whether their cache is out of date.

   YANG library information can be different on every server and can
   change at runtime or across a server reboot.

   If the server implements multiple protocols to access the YANG-
   defined data, each such protocol has its own conceptual instantiation
   of the YANG library.

   The following information is needed by a client application (for each
   YANG module in the library) to fully utilize the YANG data modeling
   language:

   o  name: The name of the YANG module.

   o  revision: Each YANG module and submodule within the library has a
      revision.  This is derived from the most recent revision statement
      within the module or submodule.  If no such revision statement
      exists, the module's or submodule's revision is the zero-length
      string.

   o  submodule list: The name and revision of each submodule used by
      the module MUST be identified.
