3. Background CMM Report Background
Prior to the formation of the CIM Users Group in 2005, the CIM UML model was passed between volunteers from WG 13 and 14 to make necessary changes
To assist with the establishment of the CIM Users Group, Siemens, ABB, and Areva agreed to fund the position of CIM Model Manager for the first three years.
Kurt Hunter, Siemens
2007 – Lars-Ola Osterlund, ABB
2008 – Kendall Demaree, Areva
For 2009, Siemens agreed to fund the position again.

4. CMM Report Responsibilities of CIM Model Manager
Manage and maintain the integrated CIM UML model
Coordinate model changes with WG 14 and WG 16
Manage the CIM issues list
Facilitate WG 13 Issues discussions
Produce the IEC document
Assist CIM UG in answering questions from users
Report to WG 19 and other IEC working groups

5. CMM Report WG 13 CIM Roadmap
WG 13 Part 301 is on a yearly release cycle.
WG 13 CIM Roadmap provides an overview of planned and completed CIM UML model changes.
Serves as the main driver, in addition to CIM issues, behind changes to the CIM UML model.

11. CMM Report CIM Issues Process
CIM Issues Process consists of three primary components:
Issues Submission
Issues Resolution
Issues Tracking

12. CMM Report CIM Issues Process - Submission
CIM Issues Submission
In the past issues have been written second hand from information in s, discussions at Interop Tests, etc.
Consequently, issues that could not be resolved quickly are frequently difficult to interpret when coming back to them.
Currently requiring issues to be written by the submitter, preferably using the CIM Users Group website.

13. CMM Report CIM Issues Process - Submission

17. CMM Report CIM Issues Process - Submission
Tips for CIM Issues Submission
Be as specific and detailed as possible.
If possible, include a detailed proposed resolution to the issue. A UML model or UML class diagram can be submitted with the issue as an attachment.
For proposed model extensions include a detailed use case.
Review the CIM issues spreadsheet before submitting to determine is the issue has been submitted previously.

18. CMM Report CIM Issues Process - Submission
CIM Naming Rules*:
Class names are UpperCamelCase (GeneratingUnit).
Attribute names are lowerCamelCase (raiseRampRate).
Association role names are UpperCamelCase.
Association role names are required, but association names are not.
Names shall be singular unless the concept is plural.
Names shall not include a unit name (“ratedVoltage”, not “ratedKV”).
Attribute names shall not include the class name.
*(sample list, not exhaustive)

19. CMM Report CIM Issues Process - Submission
CIM Naming Rules (cont’d)*:
Use of abbreviations is allowed, but not recommended.
Acronyms can be used, but the expanded terms must be included in the definition.
Association role names should use the corresponding end side class as the base role name.
*(sample list, not exhaustive)

20. CMM Report CIM Issues Process - Submission
CIM Issues Spreadsheet includes fields for:
Working Group (WG 13, WG 14, WG 16 or combined)
Issue No. (Unique # assigned by CMM)
Author / Contact Information
Date Submitted
Package (Wires, Core, Assets, etc.)
Description of Issue
Proposed Resolution
Decision
Person Assigned
Due Date Status

21. CMM Report CIM Issues Process - Resolution
CIM Issues Resolution
Simple issues may be resolved by the CMM and then sent to WG 13 members for approval.
More complex issues will be discussed during WG 13 and WG 14 CIM issues conference calls. Resolution of an issue may be reached during calls or may be deferred to the next WG 13 or WG 14 meeting.
Complex or controversial issues will be discussed face to face at WG 13 and WG 14 meetings.
All WG 13 CIM changes are tracked in a spreadsheet.

22. CMM Report CIM Issues Process - Resolution
CIM Changes Spreadsheet includes fields for:
Change Number (assigned by CMM)
Action (New, Change, Delete)
Package (Wires, Core, etc.)
Subject (Affected class, attribute, or association)
Subject Type (Class, Attribute, or Association)
Description
Issue Reference Number (from CIM Issues List)
New CIM Revision

25. CMM Report CIM Versioning
CIM UML Model Versioning
Version names include both the major CIM version number and the working (minor) version number.
In iec v04:
CIM version number is 14
Working version is 4

26. CMM Report CIM Versioning
CIM UML Model Versioning
Versioning is maintained in both the UML model content and the model file name.
File name example:
iec61970cim14v04_iec61968cim10v21_combined.eap
Enterprise Architect UML of combined WG 13 / WG 14 models
WG 13 CIM Version
WG 14 CIM Version

27. CMM Report CIM Versioning
CIM UML Model Versioning
The UML package IEC61968 includes class IEC61968CIMVersion.
Attribute IEC61968CIMVersion.date =
Attribute IEC61968CIMVersion.version = IEC61968CIM10v21
The UML package IEC61970 includes class IEC61970CIMVersion.
Attribute IEC61970CIMVersion.date =
Attribute IEC61970CIMVersion.version = IEC61970CIM14v04
