CIM RDF schema generation with CIM profile¶

This part of IEC 61970 discusses the generation of CIM RDF Schema. A CIMXML model exchange document uses a subset of the CIM to address the model exchange needs of a specific use case; see Part 400 series profile documents. A CIM profile defines that portion of the CIM that an importer and exporter of a CIMXML document should be expected to handle. The RDF Schema for a profile then contains only the classes and properties defined for that profile.

A RDF Schema file can be generated from the CIM UML model by an application having a user interface where the subset of the CIM UML model is interactively specified. The RDF Schema file can be used by an application to validate a CIMXML document, refer to Figure

Figure describe the “UML model” at the top is used in a “Profiling tool” to generate a “Profile”. A “Validation tool” can use an existing “Profile” to validate a “CIMXML document” and generate a “Validation report”.
