Windows Driver Model: Products, Overview & Device drivers for different Windows operating systems
In computing, the Windows Driver Model (WDM) – also known at one point as the Win32 Driver Model – is a framework for device drivers that was introduced with Windows 98 and Windows 2000 to replace VxD, which was used on older versions of Windows such as Windows 95 and Windows 3.1, as well as the Windows NT Driver Model.

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Windows Driver Model, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Windows Driver Model with Overview. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
