Subject: Summary of Changes in last Schema Set

I should have sent this out earlier

- Added some Enumerations, as per Jira, to Contract types, Temix Products, etc.

- Misc Misspellings, etc

- Eliminated some duplications, stemming from promoting a field to a “parent” type, and then finding it duplicated in one or more derived types

- Continued the process of aligning all work along the lines of

o Product Descriptions (which includes all top level resources)

o Emix Base (top level EMIX things – Product Descriptions applied to Schedules)

o Item Base (things that will be exchanged, measured, priced, or counted)

o Emix Interface (Common root for where ownership / price / measurement / Tender Occurs)

- Incorporated Gerry Gray’s changes to better align with CIM

o Units Multiplier as the enumerations of the ItemBase Scale, used for *all* items instead of just Power

o End Device Asset as Interface for Power

- Did not Incorporate CIM enumerated list of Units – too large a list for Power Markets, too small for other known markets in charter.

o Will use selections from list as aproriate in the Power-derived Items

Thanks
