Model construction

An information model is a representation of concepts and the relationships, constraints, rules, and operations to specify data semantics for a domain. In Apis, it specifies relations between assets and their data.

The ability to construct information models is built into the Apis framework and it is an implementation of the OPC UA information modelling specification.

Before you can start constructing models, you need to create a namespace to host your model.

There are several way to construct models in Apis:

• Construction Perspectives
  • OPC UA
  • Asset Registry
• Target Model Identification Form
