First Claim
1. A method for constructing a multi-dimensional data model for a distribution network, the method comprising:
- extracting geometric features from a 2D representation of a distribution network, said distribution network comprising a plurality of objects having a relationship to each other within a network;
generating distribution network elements from said geometric elements according to a network distribution model, said distribution network elements comprising objects and components of the network and including semantic information on associated attributes and relationships thereof;
validating at least one of said distribution network elements using rules to detect errors in the generation of the distribution network element(s);
refining at least one of said distribution networks elements; and
constructing a multi-dimensional digital model from said distribution network elements according to said distribution network model.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable medium are provided for constructing multi-dimensional data models for distribution networks. Geometric features are extricated from a 2D representation of a distribution network comprising a plurality of objects having a relationship to each other within a network. Distribution network elements are generated from the geometric elements according to a network distribution model. The distribution network elements comprise objects and components of the network and include semantic information on associated attributes and relationships thereof. The distribution network element(s) can be validated using rules to detect errors in the generation of the distribution network element(s). The distribution networks element(s) can be refined and a multi-dimensional digital model constructed from the distribution network elements according to the distribution network model.
