Asset Administration Shell Interfaces

General

These interfaces make it possible to access the elements of Asset Administration Shells or Submodels.

The AASX File Server Interface enables management of AASX packages on a server. A list of available packages can be retrieved. Each package in the list can be downloaded, uploaded, or deleted. New packages can also be added.

AASX packages are stored and managed independently of instantiated Asset Administration Shells or submodels on a server. The server documentation shall contain a description of when and how AASX packages are handled, e.g. if Asset Administration Shells or Submodels in AASX packages are instantiated at startup of the server and/or if they are also instantiated when an AASX package is changed by an API operation.

Registration Interfaces

General

These interfaces allow to register and unregister descriptors of administration shells or submodels. The descriptors contain the information needed to access the interfaces (as described in Asset Administration Shell Interfaces) of the corresponding element. This required information includes the endpoint in the dedicated environment.

Lookup interfaces provide access to the registered descriptors by identifiers (Asset Administration Shell and Submodel ID). These identifiers may be discovered through the interfaces described in Publish and Discovery Interfaces.

Repository Interfaces

General

These interfaces allow to manage Asset Administration Shells, Submodels, and Concept Descriptions. They further provide access to the data of these elements through interfaces described in Asset Administration Shell Interfaces. A repository can host multiple entities. These entities can be stored in individual repositories of a decentral system. The endpoints of the entities managed by one repository shall be resolved by subsequent calls to discover (Publish and Discovery Interfaces) and lookup (Registration Interfaces) interfaces to such decentralized systems.

Sometimes, these kinds of services are also classified as Asset Administration Shell management services.

The interfaces that provide access to the entities (Asset Administration Shells, Submodels, Concept Descriptions) themselves are convenience interfaces that provide access in a system where the services are managed by central repositories.
