Attribute (AKA Slot): asset_identifiers

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.
