This ontology is an OWL profile of the IEC Common Information Model for Smart Grids, developed by the Cerise-SG project. This profile extends the cim-smartgrid profile previously created by Maarten Steen (available at http://ns.cerise-project.nl/energy/def/cim-smartgrid) with the classes Register and Channel. This OWL profile was generated from the UML version of the IEC Common Information Model using the CIMTool (from ontology)
A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).
The local unique identifier CustomerKind is used to demonstrate the providers
available for A Common Information Model Profile for Smart Grids. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
