The CIM can be used to derive 'design artifacts' (e.g. XML or RDF Schemas) as needed for the integration of related application software.
ENTSO-E is a major contributor to the European style market profile.
[3] The core packages of the CIM are defined in IEC 61970-301, with a focus on the needs of electricity transmission, where related applications include energy management system, SCADA, and planning and optimization.
IEC 61970-501 and 61970-452 define an XML format for network model exchanges using RDF.
CIM and Substation Configuration Language (SCL) are developed in parallel under different IEC TC 57 working groups.
