CIM model root

The root is the container for business intent and the traceability/readiness objects that make a CIM increment reviewable.

CIMModel

Represents cimmodel in the CIM vocabulary. It specializes TraceableElement with the details needed for this modeling concern.

Direct supertypes: TraceableElement. Inherited attributes and marker capabilities are documented in the shared kernel; this section lists every attribute declared by this class.

Declared attributes

Attribute	Type and multiplicity	What it captures and why it exists	Accepted values and example
domainName	String [1]	The business domain being modeled, used as the semantic anchor for the entire increment rather than as a deployment or repository name. Semantic validation: CIMModelDeclaresBusinessScope (cimmodel declares business scope) in mde/validation/cim/rules/core-kernel-trace.evl the value must be present and non-blank. Transformation role: ETL rule CIMModel2PIMModel in mde/transformations/cim-to-pim/root-scaffolding.etl assigns or materializes this feature while refining CIMModel. Generation role: The artifact generator references this feature in mde/generation/awspsm-to-artifacts/lib/cfn.eol.	A free-form String, subject to this class's semantic meaning and any EVL constraints. Example: orders.example.com.
businessScope	String [1]	The boundary of the business problem under consideration. It prevents the model from quietly expanding into adjacent capabilities that are not part of the current transformation slice. Semantic validation: CIMModelDeclaresBusinessScope (cimmodel declares business scope) in mde/validation/cim/rules/core-kernel-trace.evl the value must be present and non-blank.	A free-form String, subject to this class's semantic meaning and any EVL constraints. Example: orders.
organizationName	String [1]	The organization whose language, ownership, and governance assumptions the CIM represents; it gives otherwise context-free requirements an accountable setting. Semantic validation: CIMModelDeclaresBusinessScope (cimmodel declares business scope) in mde/validation/cim/rules/core-kernel-trace.evl the value must be present and non-blank.	A free-form String, subject to this class's semantic meaning and any EVL constraints. Example: orders-team.
modelingDate	Date [1]	The date on which the business understanding was recorded. It makes the currency of assumptions and stakeholder decisions visible during later review.	A Date value. Example: 2026-01-15.
language	String [1]	The natural language used for names and descriptions. It protects the ubiquitous language from being misread when the model is reviewed or transformed by teams working in different locales. Generation role: The artifact generator references this feature in mde/generation/awspsm-to-artifacts/lib/paths.eol. The artifact generator references this feature in mde/generation/awspsm-to-artifacts/templates/docs/generation-report.egl.	A free-form String, subject to this class's semantic meaning and any EVL constraints. Example: Cimmodel Language.
