  • 1.  SID - Resource Specification Type

    Posted May 29, 2018 09:31
    ​​​I will define the resource specification type.  I read the SID Data Model , and I noticed many définitions to define the resource specification type.

    1) Type will be Logical or Physical

    2) Type will be more specific like Mobile Device, Router, VOD Title etc

    What the best approach to use and do you recommend ?anks

    Thanks

    Hi Odette
    Can I suggest that the Frameworx Community, which includes the SID, might be a more appropriate place for this type of post. SID experts (such as John Reilly and Michel B​esson regularly monitor that forum and they can probably advise you on your questions.

    Howdy, Odette. I was waiting to see if you posted this question on the Frameworx Community as Jonathan suggested but haven't seen it yet.

    Deciding on how you want to categorize ResourceSpecifications (RS) is really up to you.

    In the SID ResourceSpecificationType (RST) inherits from EntitySpecificationType (EST). This entity is in the Common Business Entities domain / Root Business Entities ABE. There is an EntitySpecificationTypeRelationship (ESTR) that allows a SID implementer to set up a tree/network of related ESTRs. So you could set up a tree of RSTs with a "Physical Resource" instance of EST as the top level and "Router", "Mobile Device",... related to it using ESTR. Or you could leave out the top level "Physical Resource" RST.

    There is also a *-* association between RST and RS that allows a SID implementer to categorize a RS in many different ways.
