Get Involved - Cloud Information Model Skip to main content Close Search Get Involved Founded in 2019 under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, the Cloud Information Model (CIM) is both a member alliance and community. Together, collaborating in Working Groups, members define and use a common open data model, influence existing and future standards, and build open solutions to solve common problems. Working Group Scope We have developed the Cloud Information Model (CIM) with a standards-based approach and translated it into multiple formats. This approach enables businesses with varying technologies to adopt CIM. It also empowers contributors and fosters growth for a larger CIM ecosystem. Cloud Information Model Working Group Currently, CIM has a single Working Group which works in the definition of new Subject Areas, mappings and APIs requirements.
