Fred, Just to be clear ... You say "A resource model has semantics and a rendering. The semantics are just, say, a UML model with some textual descriptions. CIM itself only has semantics."
This is indeed true - but UML classes (and CIM) have both properties and operations. The operations are behavior - and while their implementation is not specified, their parameters are defined.
Given that, a standardized rendering as a webservice would make sense and foster interoperability. (My original query was mainly because I'm more used to other data-models that are operation-less, purely describing an arrangement published through some mechanism unrelated to the model, so I forgot that CIM does more).
