Abstract
This chapter deals with one of the most recommended ICT-standards for the power domain. In particular, the CIM and the appropriate standard series IEC 61970, IEC 61968, and IEC 62325 are introduced. The CIM is a powerful overall integration framework, which is historically grown and continuously improved in order to meet the latest requirements. Due to the fact that the CIM is designed as an abstract and generic model, the developments focus on two focal areas: On the one hand, a comprehensive data model is developed and maintained in UML. On the other hand, technology mappings are specified in order to make the overall model applicable. In general, the CIM is used for two major use cases: Message exchange based on XML serializations and exchange of power grid topologies serialized with RDF. Within this chapter all these aspects are covered and analyzed. Finally, the chapter concludes with a summary and an outlook.
