CIM Meta Schema

The Meta Schema is a formal definition of the model. It defines the terms used to express the model and the model's usage and semantics.

The elements of the model are Schemas, Classes, Properties and Methods. The model also supports Indications and Associations as special types of Classes and References as a special type of Property. The rest of this section describes each of the elements in detail.
