ISO/IEC 30182:2017对智能城市概念模型（SCCM）进行了描述并提供了指导，该模型可以通过调整不同部门使用的本体，为智能城市组件系统之间的互操作性提供基础。它包括:
-概念（例如组织、地点、社区、项目、度量、服务、资源）；和
-概念之间的关系（例如，组织拥有资源，在一个地方举办活动）
SCCM不会在现有模型存在的地方替换它们，但通过从本地模型映射到父模型，可以以一种新的联合方式询问有关数据的问题
ISO/IEC 30182:2017的目标是为城市社区提供服务并管理结果数据的组织，以及城市的决策者和政策制定者。1）
SCCM适用于许多组织为一个地方内的许多社区提供服务的地方。
它不包括与SCCM中每个概念相关的数据标准，也不试图列出或推荐城市映射到SCCM的标识符和分类的来源
SCCM是为了传达数据的含义而设计的。它不试图提供描述数据集元数据的概念，例如数据的有效性和来源
它涵盖了语义互操作性，即定义数据的含义，尤其是来自许多来源的数据。它没有涵盖互操作性的其他障碍，其中一些在3.2中描述。

ISO/IEC 30182:2017 describes, and gives guidance on, a smart city concept model (SCCM) that can provide the basis of interoperability between component systems of a smart city, by aligning the ontologies in use across different sectors. It includes:
- concepts (e.g. ORGANIZATION, PLACE, COMMUNITY, ITEM, METRIC, SERVICE, RESOURCE); and
- relationships between concepts (e.g. ORGANIZATION has RESOURCEs, EVENT at a PLACE).
The SCCM does not replace existing models where they exist, but, by mapping from a local model to a parent model, questions can be asked about data in a new and joined-up way.
ISO/IEC 30182:2017 is aimed at organizations that provide services to communities in cities, and manage the resulting data, as well as decision-makers and policy developers in cities.1)
The SCCM is relevant wherever many organizations provide services to many communities within a place.
It does not cover the data standards that are relevant to each concept in the SCCM and does not attempt to list or recommend the sources of identifiers and categorizations that cities map to the SCCM.
The SCCM has been devised to communicate the meaning of data. It does not attempt to provide concepts to describe the metadata of a dataset, for example, validity and provenance of data.
It covers semantic interoperability, that is, defining the meaning of data, particularly from many sources. It does not cover other barriers to interoperability, some of which are described at 3.2.
