Interface content

Interface content is all about defining the digital twin. We can identify the following object types, which can be used as content:

• Property
• Telemetry
• Relationship
• Component

Let's look at each of these object types.

Properties

Properties define values within a digital twin. These values can be read-only or have read and write states. Properties have a backing storage. This allows us to read the value of the property at any time. However, the property can also be writable if we set the writable property to true. This allows us to store a value in the property.

As you already know, each digital twin has a representation in the real world. This means that the property describes the following:

• State: This property describes a part of the state of a digital twin.
• Synchronization: This property describes the synchronization between the digital twin and the real-world object.

Every property contains synchronization...
