3 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Sequence Diagram

4 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Sequence Diagram Messages and Messages’ Content
5
5 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Question : how Message’s Content could be semantically consistant accross all exchanges? The answer is to have a shared Information Model From which Message Content could be derived So first, what is an Information Model? How it could be represented? How we derived Message Content from this Information Model?

6 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 UML Unified Modeling Language
7
7 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 UML Association Modelling : Role send Is send by
8
8 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Information Model An Information Model is a model that represents all classes with : all their possible properties all their possible associations This has some consequences : All properties are described as optional A lot of associations are left optional All associations are bidirectional ones (except for specialized ones like inheritance and aggregation) This means that there is no hierarchy dataTyping is kept as generic as possible An Information Model is context independant The CIM model is based on this philosophy

9 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Information Model (Abstract Model) Business Class
10
10 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 How can we generate a Message’s Content from an Information Model? First define the context : use case, business process analysis… At the end of this analysis, define exchanges as Messages that have Contents or Documents Build Contents or Documents as follow : What are the classes involved in the exchange? What is the principal class involved in the exchange? What are the associations required What are the classes properties necessary for the exchange? What kind of constraints should be applied on the properties type? In fact what is defined is a view on the information Model
11
11 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 1th step : select Classes involved in the exchange
12
12 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 2th step : define main classes and relations Root Element
13
13 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 3th step : select class properties involved in the exchange In fact we define views of information model classes
14
14 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 4th step : refine Properties DataTypes by restrictions (constraints) We ended up here with a Contextual Model
15
15 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Define Message Model according to some assembly rules Message Model level Assembly Rules
16
16 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 From Information Model to Message Content Model Message Content level Information level
17
17 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Next step from Message Content Model to Message Content Syntactic Model Syntactic level = XML Schema Transformation Process According to some Rules Message Content level
18
18 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 UML/XML Modelling layers Information Model UML Modèles Conceptuels UML Modèles d’Echanges UML Modèle d’Echange XML (XSD) Modèles Conceptuels UML Contextual Models UML Modèles d’Echanges UML Message Content Models UML Modèle d’Echange XML (XSD) Message Content XML Schemas

19 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 UN/CEFACT “UN Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business supports activities dedicated to improving the ability of business, trade and administrative organizations, from developed, developing and transitional economies, to exchange products and relevant services effectively.” Cross-sectoral analysis (to promote interoperability & supply chain synchronicity) Business process and information modelling (to capture user requirements, independent of any specific technology, through the creation of business collaboration models); and New technologies as they emerge (eg eXtensible Markup language (XML), webServices, shared and/or distributed objects etc) International standards for enabling e-business systems & interoperability

20 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 UN/CEFACT External Relations Memorandum of Understanding - ISO, IEC, ITU, UNECE Meetings in Beijing in October 2005 and in Vancouver in March 2006. UN/CEFACT - OASIS A new Cooperation Agreement was signed on 21 June 2005. ebXML, UBL Many other organizations Some are delegations in UN/CEFACT –GS1, SWIFT, … Some are not –OAG, CEN/ISSS, XBRL, …

23
23 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 DataTypes and Core Component Types Ten Core Component Types: Amount Binary Object Code Date Identifier Indicator Numeric Measure Quantity Text From which can be derived DataTypes
24
24 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Core Component Types Have a content that is of a primitive type (String, Decimal…) And Supplementary attributes that qualify the Content Example Core Component Type « Amount » have A Content whose value is a decimal And Supplementary Attributes : – Currency Identifier – Currency Code List Version Example Core Component Type « Measure » have A Content whose value is a decimal And Supplementary Attributes : – Unit Code – Unit Code List Version CIm is using something similar for its Domain « Primitive »
25
25 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Core Component Types Three of them are dealing with measuring, compting Objects : Measure : for measure value Amount : monnetary representation Quantity : for anything else Measure Units are based on UN/ECE rec. 20 Currency Units are based on UN/ECE rec. 9 Quantity Unit are user defined Measure, amount and quantity value are All expressed as decimal values
26
26 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Measure Definition a numeric value determined by measuring an object along with the specified unit of measure Measure.Content decimal The numeric value determined by measuring an object. Measure Unit.Code string The type of unit of measure Reference UN/ECE Rec. 20 and X12 355, that include SI units.
27
27 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Creating DataTypes by derivation Default value Fixed value There are naming rules that say that a derived by restriction dataTypes have a name based on the CCT name prefixed by a qualifier And for multiple ans sub units? Comment : CIM DataTyping need to be revised and a naming rule should be defined Measure Class name should be based on quantity name (example voltage) and the unit expressed by the SI representation symbol (example V)
28
28 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Creating controlled dataTypes Use of enumeration to give only permitted unit value
29
29 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Core Components UML Business Information Entities UML Message Content Models UML Message Content XML Schemas Context Constraint Language Message Assembly XML naming and Design rules Syntax Binding
30
30 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 CIM/XML Schema Derivation Process CIM Information Model UML Contextual Model Message Content XML Schema Message Content Model CIM Context rules ? CIM Message assembly Rules ? CIM XML Schema Design Rules ? CIM Syntax Binding ?
31
31 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Proposals CIM Context Constraint Rules? CIM Message Assembly Rules? CIM Syntax Binding ? (RDF) CIM Naming and Design Rules? We need to have all these rules explicitly described in the 61968 and 61970 standards (and serves for WG 16 and 19) One way to do that is to based this work on the UN/Cefact work This would also be aligned with the Memorandum Of Understandind between UN/Cefact and IEC.
32
32 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Aligne CIM and IEC Standards with UN/Cefact Work What would be the work? For CIM : Change all domain package to have UN/Cefact CCTS DataTypes And move to SI Units Naming Rules for DataTypes Use Decimal instead of Float Change all attributes types in CIM Classes Make good definitions

36 CIM User Group Conference Call december 8th 2005 Aligne CIM and IEC Standards with UN/Cefact Work Benefits : Revisit all CIM classes Correct a lot of inconsistency –in modeling, –in names, –in attribute typing Make CIM the Core Components for the electrotechnical field
