Well, a user designed OID is a derivative of a MIB, that 
is what tells you what is what.

And there are the two sides to snmp, alerting events and 
the polling monitoring side.

So if you look at a router say, CPU/Memory are predefined OID's
in a system mib, then you have interfaces x.25, frame relay and so on.

There are a few mibs I know of in the Java world, like oracle mibs 
for their databases

You need those mibs to integrate to traditional monitoring software.

Nothing inappropriate about good questions!
