Inheritance

Attributes

Name URI Cardinality and Range Inheritance Description
CoordinateSystem cim:Location.CoordinateSystem 1..1 CoordinateSystem direct Coordinate system used to describe position points of this location.
mainAddress cim:Location.mainAddress 0..1 StreetAddress direct Main address of the location.
PowerSystemResources cim:Location.PowerSystemResources 1..1 PowerSystemResource direct All power system resources at this location.
mRID cim:IdentifiedObject.mRID 1..1 string IdentifiedObject Master resource identifier issued by a model authority. The mRID is unique within an exchange context. Global uniqueness is easily achieved by using a UUID, as specified in RFC 4122, for the mRID. The use of UUID is strongly recommended.For CIMXML data files in RDF syntax conforming to IEC 61970-552, the mRID is mapped to rdf:ID or rdf:about attributes that identify CIM object elements.
name cim:IdentifiedObject.name 0..1 string IdentifiedObject The name is any free human readable and possibly non unique text naming the object.
