Class: Device

A device is a special type of asset that can be managed with some asset management system. It usually is a physical device, but it can also be a virtual device as long as it has the same properties and capabilities as a physical device.

      but not to device management.

  asset_identifiers:
    name: asset_identifiers
    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.'
