The AAS metamodel knows different ways of referencing which have to be specified in the “Keys” variable used in the AASReferenceType (6.3). The “Keys” Variable is of the data type AASKeyDataType which is a structure defined in Table 70. It indicates to which type of AAS element it is referring to (AASKeyElementDataType - Table 71), if the reference refers to a local or remote element (Local), the type of the identifier of the referred element and the identifier value. The IdType is of data type AASKeyTypeDataType (Table 72).
The AASKeyDataType is defined in Table 70.

Description |
|
CoManagedEntity |
0 |
Self-Managed Entities have their own AAS. This is why a reference to this asset is specified as well (Entity/asset). Additionally, further property statements (compare to [15]) can be added to the asset that are not specified in the AAS of the asset itself because they are specified in relation to the composite I4.0 Component only. |
|
SelfManagedEntity |
1 |
For co-managed entities there is no separate AAS. The relationships and property statements of such entities are managed within the AAS of the composite I4.0 Component. |
