Title: A METHOD FOR GENERATING A SEMANTIC DESCRIPTION OF A COMPOSITE INTERACTION
Abstract: The embodiments proposed herein provide a simplified configuration of an industrial entity and an application design development using a visual programming environment. The concept is based on graphical representation of semantic models as configurable entity icons. An entity icon corresponding to a semantic configuration template acts as a template for an atomic capability of an industrial entity ensuring a configuration that is consistent with preconfigured solutions of the semantic model. The entity icon can be customized according to a device specification of the industrial entity by configuring one or more attributes according to the device specifications. The configuration step is guided and validated. One or more configured entity icons can be used to describe capabilities of an industrial entity or to create an IoT application template.
