  1. CIMSpy – a CIM/XML Browser CIM User Group, Fall 2007

  2. Introduction • Initiated during the CIM User Group Meeting, Fall 2005 • Designed to provide an integrated environment for browsing, searching, and validating CIM/XML documents • Implemented as a stand-alone DHTML client application hosted in IE • Released as open source under GNU license • Used in InterOp 8-10 Tests

  3. Functionality Overview • Organizing a flat CIM/XML document into various model hierarchies based on dynamic discovery • Presenting the computer-friendly XML in a human-friendly format: HTML • Providing various navigation mechanisms for model browsing • Supporting XPath-based searching • Integrated with the schema-driven validation tool CIMVT

  4. CIMSpy Transforms CIM/XML… • CIMSpy leverages the latest XML technology, transforming CIM/XML …

  5. From Flat XML Document to Hierarchical Model Presentation XPath-Based Dynamic Discovery

  6. From Machine-Friendly XML to Human-Friendly HTML XSLT-Based Transformation

  7. Various Navigation Mechanisms Facilitate Model Exploration Backward/forward navigation facilitates model browsing Multiple navigation trees allow you to explore model from different perspectives Hyperlinks enable instance-to-instance navigation

  8. Searching Is beyond Locating an Object This XPath query allows you to find all of the Equipments belonging to a VoltageLevel

  9. Schema-Driven Validation Makes Model Debugging Easier (1) Attribute Conductor.resistance is not recognized according to CIM/OWL Hyperlink provides a quick jump to the instance with error

  10. Schema-Driven Validation Makes Model Debugging Easier (2) Navigating to the reported instance, you will immediately identify the inconsistence or violation

  11. Loading Large Models Is Not a Problem, but Be Patient When Browsing the Loaded Large Models Anyone knows what this model is?

  12. Hidden Feature & Pitfall • Tool maintenance is extremely easy, since CIMSpy is schema-driven • CIMSpy works for any versions of CIM/XML, though some functionalities such as validation may not work properly if the version is not recognized

  13. Short Term (achievable) XSD-based Validation Rule-Based Validation Supporting CIM Incremental Model i.e. CIM Difference Model Long Term (ambitious) Running Power Flow for Sanity Checking Supporting RDF Graphics Future Plans
