CIM4Diagram is an Proof-of-concept project focusing on creating a LinkML-based definition of the CIM Diagram Profile, aligned with W3C DX-PROF. This project aims to define a vocabulary and constraints for diagram modeling within the Common Information Model (CIM) framework, ensuring compatibility with existing semantic web standards.
As part of this effort, we will: - Define CIM Diagram Profile constraints using LinkML. - Generate an RDFS-Plus ontology representation of the vocabulary. - Generate an SHACL representation of the profile constraints - Investigate whether LinkML can be used to generate the expected ontology and contained defined in the target RDFS and SHACL definition that will be manually created. - Explore alternative generation from LinkML for providing necessary documentation and Software Development Kit (SDK) for the profile.
CIM4Diagram aims to:
-
Develop a structured CIM Diagram Profile using LinkML, conforming to W3C DX-PROF.
-
Define a vocabulary and constraints for diagram representation in CIM with the expectation that we are able to provide all relevant modelling concept.
-
Generate an expected RDFS-Plus ontology for the profile and evaluate LinkML’s ability to produce it.
-
Investigate SHACL generation for enforcing constraints.
-
Assess additional semantic web technologies for supporting interoperability.
-
Investigate how LinkML can be used to make extension to the CIM standard.
