Capability🔗

A capability is the implementation-independent description of the potential of an asset to achieve a certain effect in the physical or virtual world.

The Capability.semanticId of a capability is typically an ontology. Thus, reasoning on capabilities is enabled.

Inheritances 🔗

SubmodelElement

Properties 🔗

extensions: Optional[List[Extension]] 🔗

(From HasExtensions)

An extension of the element.

category: Optional[NameType] 🔗

(From Referable)

The category is a value that gives further meta information w.r.t. to the class of the element. It affects the expected existence of attributes and the applicability of constraints.

The category is not identical to the semantic definition (HasSemantics) of an element. The category e.g. could denote that the element is a measurement value whereas the semantic definition of the element would denote that it is the measured temperature.

idShort: Optional[IdShortType] 🔗

(From Referable)

In case of identifiables this attribute is a short name of the element. In case of referable this ID is an identifying string of the element within its name space.

In case the element is a property and the property has a semantic definition (HasSemantics.semanticId) conformant to IEC61360 the Referable.idShort is typically identical to the short name in English.

displayName: Optional[List[LangStringNameType]] 🔗

(From Referable)

Display name. Can be provided in several languages.

description: Optional[List[LangStringTextType]] 🔗

(From Referable)

Description or comments on the element.

The description can be provided in several languages.

If no description is defined, then the definition of the concept description that defines the semantics of the element is used.

Additional information can be provided, e.g., if the element is qualified and which qualifier types can be expected in which context or which additional data specification templates are provided.

semanticId: Optional[Reference] 🔗

(From HasSemantics)

Identifier of the semantic definition of the element. It is called semantic ID of the element or also main semantic ID of the element.

It is recommended to use a global reference.

supplementalSemanticIds: Optional[List[Reference]] 🔗

(From HasSemantics)

Identifier of a supplemental semantic definition of the element. It is called supplemental semantic ID of the element.

It is recommended to use a global reference.

qualifiers: Optional[List[Qualifier]] 🔗

(From Qualifiable)

Additional qualification of a qualifiable element.

Constraint AASd-021🔗: Every qualifiable can only have one qualifier with the same Qualifier.type.

embeddedDataSpecifications: Optional[List[EmbeddedDataSpecification]] 🔗

(From HasDataSpecification)

Embedded data specification.
