This report presents the Grid Model Data Management (GMDM) Information Model, which utilities can use to build the grid model portion of their enterprise semantic model. It emphasizes the importance of the Common Information Model (CIM) in providing a mature, full-featured, industry-recognized information model for managing distribution grid data.

Stakeholder
The report is broadly applicable to U.S. electric utilities and grid operators. (For example, power utilities and vendors adopting CIM standards – no specific company is singled out, but the content is relevant to any utility implementing enterprise data
A technical report introducing key concepts and use cases for adopting a “common” information-sharing model in power systems. It outlines how a standardized semantic data model (CIM) can facilitate data exchange—including exchanging power network models between utilities, integrating data between applications within a utility, and sharing market/operational data among market participants . The goal is to reduce custom interfaces and data silos by using a common vocabulary for grid assets and messages.
