UsagePoint

The description is a free human readable text describing or naming the object. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy.

The attribute is used for an exchange of the EAN code (European Article Number). The length of the string is 16 characters as defined by the EAN code.

If true, this usage point is virtual, i.e., no physical location exists in the network where a meter could be located to collect the meter readings. For example, one may define a virtual usage point to serve as an aggregation of usage for all of a company's premises distributed widely across the distribution territory. Otherwise, the usage point is physical, i.e., there is a logical point in the network where a meter could be located to collect meter readings.

Master resource identifier issued by a model authority. The mRID is unique within an exchange context. Global uniqueness is easily achieved by using a UUID, as specified in RFC 4122, for the mRID. The use of UUID is strongly recommended. For CIMXML data files in RDF syntax conforming to IEC 61970-552, the mRID is mapped to rdf:ID or rdf:about attributes that identify CIM object elements.

The name is any free human readable and possibly non unique text naming the object.
