`Zone`

Area divided off from other areas. It may be part of the electrical network, a land area where special restrictions apply, weather areas, etc. For weather, it is an area where a set of relatively homogenous weather measurements apply.

Name Cardinality Type Description

Name	Cardinality	Type	Description
`InstanceSet`	1	`InstanceSet`	Dataset containing the data objects.
`kind`	0..1	`ZoneKind`	Kind of this zone.
`CoordinateSystem`	0..1	`CoordinateSystem`	Coordinate system used to describe position points of this location.
`Incident`	0..1	`Incident`	Incident at this location.
`OutageOrder`	0..1	`OutageOrder`	The outage order at this location.
`PropertiesCIMDataObject`	0..1	`ChangeSetMember`	The single CIM data object in the appropriate dataset context.
`SwitchingOrder`	0..1	`SwitchingOrder`	The switching order at this location.
`TroubleOrder`	0..1	`TroubleOrder`	The trouble order at this location
`TroubleTicket`	0..1	`TroubleTicket`	n/a
`aliasName`	0..1	`string`	The aliasName is free text human readable name of the object alternative to IdentifiedObject.name. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy. The attribute aliasName is retained because of backwards compatibility between CIM relases. It is however recommended to replace aliasName with the Name class as aliasName is planned for retirement at a future time.
`description`	0..1	`string`	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.
`direction`	0..1	`string`	(if applicable) Direction that allows field crews to quickly find a given asset. For a given location, such as a street address, this is the relative direction in which to find the asset. For example, a streetlight may be located at the 'NW' (northwest) corner of the customer's site, or a usage point may be located on the second floor of an apartment building.
`electronicAddress`	0..1	`ElectronicAddress`	Electronic address.
`geoInfoReference`	0..1	`string`	(if applicable) Reference to geographical information source, often external to the utility.
`mRID`	0..1	`string`	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.
`mainAddress`	0..1	`StreetAddress`	Main address of the location.
`name`	0..1	`string`	The name is any free human readable and possibly non unique text naming the object.
`phone1`	0..1	`TelephoneNumber`	Phone number.
`phone2`	0..1	`TelephoneNumber`	Additional phone number.
`secondaryAddress`	0..1	`StreetAddress`	Secondary address of the location. For example, PO Box address may have different ZIP code than that in the 'mainAddress'.
`status`	0..1	`Status`	Status of this location.
`type`	0..1	`string`	Classification by utility's corporate standards and practices, relative to the location itself (e.g., geographical, functional accounting, etc., not a given property that happens to exist at that location).
`Assets`	0..*	`Asset`	All assets at this location.
`ConfigurationEvents`	0..*	`ConfigurationEvent`	All configuration events created for this location.
`Crew`	0..*	`Crew`	The crew that is assigned to this locaton.
`Crews`	0..*	`OldCrew`	n/a
`DiagramObjects`	0..*	`DiagramObject`	The diagram objects that are associated with the domain object.
`EnvironmentalLocationKind`	0..*	`EnvironmentalLocationType`	Kind of environmental location which this location is.
`EnvironmentalMonitoringStation`	0..*	`EnvironmentalMonitoringStation`	Monitoring station located at this location.
`Fault`	0..*	`Fault`	All faults at this location.
`Hazards`	0..*	`AssetLocationHazard`	All asset hazards at this location.
`LandProperties`	0..*	`LandProperty`	n/a
`Measurements`	0..*	`Measurement`	All measurements at this location.
`Names`	0..*	`Name`	All names of this identified object.
`PositionPoints`	0..*	`PositionPoint`	Sequence of position points describing this location, expressed in coordinate system 'Location.CoordinateSystem'.
`PowerSystemResources`	0..*	`PowerSystemResource`	All power system resources at this location.
`Routes`	0..*	`Route`	n/a
`TargetingCIMDataObject`	0..*	`ChangeSetMember`	Data objects registered.
