MTNM Compliant EMS

The NMS has to interact with multiple EMS and present an integrated view of data. Now each EMS can be from a different vendor and based on a different technology. Moreover the different EMS may not talk in a common vocabulary or have a common format for data. Then how is it possible to have a single NMS for multiple EMS?
