Graphical Exchange of Network Model Diagrams Using CIM Standard

The CIM Graphics Exchange (CGE) format has been developed by IEC TC57 WG13 to support the exchange of graphical data including single line diagrams. The CGE format will enable the users to exchange graphical data in conjunction with a full electrical connectivity model and then build the diagrams within their own software while maintaining the layout. The diagrams can be exchanged between systems both internally and externally to a company yet allow the user to maintain the familiar look and feel of their application. By utilizing the existing CIM standards for defining information models and RDF XML the CGE leverages existing tools for supporting the exchange of network models in CIM RDF XML and allows users to more easily integrate the support for CGE data within existing CIM-capable systems. The speakers at this panel session will address the current status of building and exchanging of network single line diagrams and the emerging standard of CIM graphic exchange format.
