The term Common Information Model may appear in various contexts;

Computing

In computing, the Common Information Model (CIM), a standard designed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), aims to allow multiple parties to exchange management information about systems, networks, applications and services.

Several vendors provide implementations of CIM in various forms. For example, the Windows Management Instrumentation API available in Microsoft Windows 2000 and higher uses CIM version 2 as its basis.

By using a shared model of information, management tools can combine information from many sources into a central database without complex conversion operations or loss of information.

Electricity distribution

In electric power distribution, the Common Information Model (CIM), a standard designed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), aims to allow transmission network operators to exchange information about the configuration and status of the transmission network under their control.
