Technical Identifier for components

[SebastianOpriel]

Does a field in InformationModel exist to identify a component's technical name? E.g. something like an ids:componentIdentifier:

"@type": "ids:BaseConnector",
"ids:version": "7.1.0",
"ids:componentIdentifier": "IDSA_DSC",

Due to a different usage of

• fields (e.g. URI vs URN),
• expected non-mandatory fields or
• different message flows

across different Connector implementation, a field like componentIdenfier would help to establish a consistency at least with known other components and its versions.

We recently added references to ids:Described to multiple classes (cf. my comment here and the related pull request, which was merged to develop.

The ids:BaseConnector has a subClassOf chain through ids:Connector, ids:InfrastructureComponent, ids:ManagedEntity finally to ids:Described. You therefore should be able to use the fields dct:title and dct:description as you prefer (cf. the `Described validation shape from line 43).

Please let us know if that helps, thanks!
