3.1.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model, as long as their external behavior is consistent with the information that is described in this document.

This protocol is contingent on the abstract data model as specified by [MS-USPSWS] section 3.1.1.
