Joint Inter-Domain Management (JIDM) task force, jointly sponsored by X/Open and the Network Management Forum, has defined a mapping between SNMP, CMIP and CORBA.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Soukouti1997">Template:Cite book</ref> The JIDM specification was adopted as a standard by the Open Group in 2000.<ref name="Open2000">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The mapping specification is in two parts: the Specification Translation and the Interactive Translation.<ref name="Open2000" /> The Specification Translation spells out translation of the object oriented object models among the network management protocols that allow for data transfer across protocols. The Interactive Translation concerns the dynamic translation of objects in use that allows for the construction of network management software that operates across protocols.<ref name="Soukouti1997" />
The JIDM specification was considered the most significant work to use the CORBA framework in network management mapping.<ref name="Kwon2001">Template:Cite book</ref> The JIDM specification led to CORBA's further use in specifications in the telecommunications industry, such as the ITU-T GDMO specifications.<ref name="Pavlou2007">Template:Cite journal</ref> But the object framework led to performance problems,<ref name="Pavlou2007" /><ref name="Ranc2000">Template:Cite book</ref> such as requiring a remote method invocation for each object attribute and scalability problems coming from large numbers of objects generated from all the network connections. This led to network management data mapping approaches where sets of attributes and lists of connections were transferred instead of individual objects.
