Under the Hood: An Overview of the Common Information Model Data Exchanges

In This article,an overview of the Common Information Model (CIM) based data exchanges is provided, along with how they are created and how they may be implemented within the enterprise or between utility entities. Our intent is to explain how the CIM can be used to generate exchange packages and how those packages enable an integration framework. Using the CIM as a basis for all exchange payloads ensures that the exchange content is clearly defined in a standard way, and the data is interpreted the same across different business domains.
