Class: Asset
An asset is the representation of a functional object with a technical function that is known to Industrial Asset Hub (IAH). Industrial Asset Hub (IAH) might want to manage the asset, to model its relationships with other assets, it might know the asset and ignore it,...
The only attributes that an instance of this class must provide are an ID to refer to it and the asset management state.
An asset instance might represent a physical object (like a Raspberry Pi or an application running on a system) or a virtual object (like a router in a network topology, no matter which physical device it is). In both cases an identifier for the object being represented is needed.

asset is being regarded by an asset management system (is it being regarded

The goals of this attribute are: to avoid rediscovering assets being ignored

Assets that can be discovered, but not supported, might evolve from an "ignored"

Software Bill of Material (SBOM).
Please notice that this attribute is not meant to model relationships between
the different software assets available in a device. Static relationships implicit
to the SoftwareAssets themselves (like "firmware image A contains package X"
or "package X depends on package Y") might be modeled on the Software Assets,
if desired. Although it probably goes beyond the purpose of asset modeling.
Deployment dependent relationships (like "firmware image needs to be installed
before installing app") might be modeled as external AssetLinks, if desired.
Once again it probably goes beyond the purpose of asset modeling.'

functional_parts:

description: 'The functional objects that an asset is composed of, in case such
a level of decomposition is desired. This is enables having assets composed
of other assets and even devices composed of other devices and assets.
An Asset must be addressable independently from other Assets (therefore they
need to have an "id") and are therefore individually modeled. But not all parts
of an Asset that are modeled need to be individually addressable, these are
FunctionalObjects, but not Assets.
Probably those functional_parts of an Asset providing some function for the
Asset will be modeled here. Therefore an Asset can delegate the Interactions
that it''s offering to its functional_parts.'

description: 'An asset identifier is an asset attribute that provides enough information
to unequivocally identify the represented object.
In some cases the ID attribute acts simultaneously as a reference for the asset
instance and as identifier for the represented object, otherwise at least one
asset identifier is needed.
There can be multiple asset_identifiers with different goals. For example, the
information of a metal nameplate can be used by a human-being to identify a
device represented by an asset instance, but a software certificate provided
by a device might help a software component identify the device in the network,...
An asset identifier might have an identifier_type, that defines its format and
possibly even semantics.'
