Detailed Comparision of Elements with SensIDL

This table compares / matches vorto meta model entities with entities of the sensIDL meta model:

VORTO	SensIDL	comments
FunctionBlock	SensorInterface	Container to handle the sensor description
Configuration	not yet cover	in SensIDL addressed in a later version
Status	?	Semantical difference to Event?
Event	SensorDataDescription + DataSet	Describes Data sent by the sensor
Operation	not yet covered	in SensIDL addressed in a later version
Fault	?	semantical difference to Event? Just a special kind of Event?
Property	<--MeasurementData)	Separation in Data and MetaInformation in Vorto not covered, SensIDL additionally includes a reference to units, which are not covered by VORTO on the meta-model level.
PropertyType	-
ObjectPropertyType	DataSet as subDataSet	Include Vorto Elements Type, Entity and Enum
PrimitivePropertyType	Enum in Data
Presence	not yet covered	mandatory/optional is planned to be covered in a next version
EnumLiteral	not available	Fixed Datatype enums, required to prevent dependencies between SensIDL instance and generators. Generators should depend only on the SensIDL meta-model
Constraint	DataRange	SensIDL only allows to define upper and lower bound
Operation (+ Param, RefParam, PrimitiveParam, ReturnType, ReturnObjectType, ReturnPrimitiveType)	not yet covered	is there a reason for not reusing the Property and related elements?
-	LinearDataConversion, LineraDataConversionWithInterval	automatic adjustments for data transfer e.g. mapping a byte 0..255 to the value range of 0..1 is not in the focus of VORTO
-	EncodingSettings	not covered in Vorto, since data transfer is not in the focus of VORTO
