What is BS EN 62656-3 – Product ontology register and transfer by spreadsheets about?
BS EN 62656-3 specifies an interface between the IEC 62656 series and the meta-model for CIM originally defined in the IEC 61968 and IEC 61970 series of standards.
BS EN 62656-3 defines a formal mapping between the IEC 62656 and the meta-model for CIM to import the CIM ontology into the IEC CDD and to ensure the interoperability of ontologies of two standards, or even among a wider spectrum of standards.
As a result of the interface specification available from BS EN 62656-3, the smart grid ontology defined in CIM becomes accessible and interoperable during ontology pieces originating in other ontology standards, encompassing material, environmental, mechanical, and logistic domains of information. In addition, the specification may also cover the lifecycle of products.
BS EN 62656-3 also specifies methods for converting IEC CDD content to the formats specified in the IEC 61968 and IEC 61970 series. However, BS EN 62656-3 does not intend any standardization of the elements defined in IEC CDD as part of the CIM ontology, for all the definitions of IEC CDD are already part of an acknowledged horizontal international standard known as IEC 61360-4-DB. Rather, it makes the pieces of information stored in IEC CDD available for further standardisation or customization in power electric domains or more specific user communities as a basic resource, in particular for the purpose of extending the CIM series of standards.
The data model of BS EN 62656-3 is based on IEC 62656-1, which specifies the logical structure for a data parcel, or just simply "parcel," which is a short name for the medium of registering or transferring product ontology. A parcel of this type is typically implemented in a spreadsheet leaf. The data model built on a set of parcels is called a "parcelized ontology model," which is often abbreviated as "POM" in the remainder of 62656-3.

Why should you use BS EN 62656-3 - Interface for Common Information Model?
The current CIM is modelled with the UML which is widely accepted among IT engineers for designing concepts of products and services. Thus, UML is used as a convenient design tool to model the CIM. However, from the users’ perspective, the current CIM modelled in UML iss devoid of a mechanism to locally update or extend the entities of the model on an entity-by-entity basis, while the POM is equipped to record the history of changes in a continuous manner. The current CIM includes IEC 62325 series and the interface specified in BS EN 62656-3 also applies to the model defined in IEC 62325-301:2014.
BS EN 62656-3 specifies:
- The mapping rules and principles for importing CIM UML objects into POM
- The syntactic and semantic requirements on the parcelled CIM objects
- The piecewise version control mechanism in POM for the parcelled CIM objects
The following items of BS EN 62656-3 are also mentioned:
- Definition of the interface between CIM UML and CIM RDF
- Specification of syntactic and semantic requirements on CIM UML
- Specification of syntactic and semantic requirements on CIM RDF
The use of BS EN 62656-3 helps you in the study of semantic requirements for the interface between CIM UML and CIM RDF.
