Abstract

This contribution provides an introduction to the Common Information Model CIM which is an international standard maintained by the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC. Today's market requirements towards the model are discussed, furthermore, we give an introduction to the history of the CIM, its serializations and scope of application. The contribution concludes with an overview of future use of the CIM for both science and commerce. Briefly, we focus on: ? Message-based loose coupling of information systems, Exchange of power grid topologies with minimal communication and data overhead, Data quality assurance using ontology-based meta annotations and Integration of heterogeneous standards in the utility domain. The contribution presents solutions to the use cases providing a better information management for the utility utilizing the Common Information Model.
