2.3. concept - ConceptDescription and Dictionary

This module contains the class ConceptDescription from the AAS meta model.

class ConceptDescription(id_: str, is_case_of: Set[Reference] | None = None, id_short: str | None = None, display_name: MultiLanguageNameType | None = None, category: str | None = None, description: MultiLanguageTextType | None = None, parent: UniqueIdShortNamespace | None = None, administration: AdministrativeInformation | None = None, embedded_data_specifications: Iterable[EmbeddedDataSpecification] = (), extension: Iterable[Extension] = ())

The semantics of a Property or other elements that may have a semantic description is defined by a concept description.

The description of the concept should follow a standardized schema (realized as data specification template).

Note

Compare is_case_of to is-case-of relationship in ISO 13584-32 & IEC EN 61360
