Specification of the Asset Administration Shell Part 3b: Data Specification – Units of Measurement – IDTA Number: 01003-b
The Asset Administration Shell allows to define data specification templates. Data specification templates aim to enable interoperability between the partners that agree on the template. A template defines a set of attributes, with each attribute having a clear semantics. This set of attributes corresponds to a (sub-)schema.
This document specifies data specification templates for modelling Units of Measurement (UoM). In this document the UoM addresses the concepts of UNITS and their relationship to QUANTITIES. In this version of the document a very simple model is provided that can be extended in future versions. The focus lies in providing a minimal set of attributes to describe a Unit of Measurement and reference to external dictionaries for further information. The definition of new UoM is currently not in scope.
