Administrative information of an identifiable element.
Note: Some of the administrative information like the version number might need to be part of the identification.
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.
Note: The category is not identical to the semantic definition (IHasSemantics) 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.
Checksum to be used to determine if an Referable (including its aggregated child elements) has changed.
The checksum is calculated by the user's tool environment. The checksum has no semantic meaning for an asset administration shell model and there is no requirement for asset administration shell tools to manage the checksum
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.
Display name. Can be provided in several languages.
If no display name is defined in the language requested by the application, then the display name is selected in the following order if available:
Embedded data specification.
An extension of the element.
The globally unique identification of the element.
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.
Note: In case the element is a property and the property has a semantic definition (semanticId) conformant to IEC61360 the idShort is typically identical to the short name in English.
Additional qualification of a qualifiable element.
Constraint AASd-021:
Every qualifiable can only have one qualifier with the same
type.
Identifier of the semantic definition of the element. It is called semantic ID of the element or also main semantic ID of the element.
Note: It is recommended to use a global reference.
A submodel consists of zero or more submodel elements.
Identifier of a supplemental semantic definition of the element. It is called supplemental semantic ID of the element.
Note: It is recommended to use a global reference.

Generated using TypeDoc
A submodel defines a specific aspect of the asset represented by the AAS.
Remarks
A submodel is used to structure the digital representation and technical functionality of an Administration Shell into distinguishable parts. Each submodel refers to a well-defined domain or subject matter. Submodels can become standardized and, thus, become submodels templates.
