What does "Wbem" and "SWbem" mean in the WMI Scripting API?

nomenclature, windows, wmi

Solution

Web-Based Enterprise Management and I believe the S means Scripting...

Some other terms:

- WMI=Windows Management Instrumentation

- CIM=Common Information Model

- DMTF=Distributed Management Task Force

Problem

In the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Scripting API, constant names start with "Wbem", and object names start with "SWbem". What do these abbreviations stand for?
