Abstract
The CIM is described in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) which is specified by the Object Management Group (OMG). To understand the CIM it is required to have basic knowledge of UML. Furthermore the application of the CIM usually involves other description languages like the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) or the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and it is realized within Serviceoriented Architectures (SOA) with corresponding platform support by so-called middle ware. This chapter describes the basic prerequisites to understand and apply the CIM. At first the necessary UML basics are being facilitated, secondly XML as a method of serialization and instantiation is outlined and RDF is briefly introduced in the third section of this chapter. Finally, Service-oriented Architectures as an environment for the integration of applications with the CIM are presented.
