      Motion to leave Device.parent and DeviceDefinition.parentDevice where there relationship is 0..1, and the definition for Device.parent should be updated to remove “attached to”

      Add the following backbone elements for related device:

      • Device.link 0..*  BackboneElement An associated device, attached to, used with, communicating with or linking a previous or new device model to the focal device.
        • relation: code 1..1  [gateway|container|replaces|previous|connected| extensible ] The type indicates the relationship of the related device to the device instance.
        • relatedDevice: CodeableReference (Device) 1..1 A reference to the linked device.
      • DeviceDefinition link 0..*  BackboneElement An associated device, attached to, used with, communicating with or linking a previous or new device model to the focal device.
        • relation: code 1..1 [gateway|container|replaces|previous|supported| extensible ] The type indicates the relationship of the related device to the defined device.
        • relatedDevice: CodeableReference (DeviceDefinition) 1..1 A reference to the linked device.

      For modeling gateways and sensor devices we use Device and DeviceDefitnition resources. We need to make sure we have the following information:

      • list of all supported gateway types for a sensor device
      • which gateway is currently associated with a sensor device

      What is the best way to do so?

      Currently, the only reference element in both Device and DeviceDefinition resources for referencing another Device/DeviceDefinition resource is .parent/.parentDevice
