public interface Equipment extends Node
Equipment comprises all active processing elements that carry out physical processes in which materials (which are a special kind of technology object) are used or transformed. Equipment is a specialization of the node element from the Technology Layer. Therefore, it is possible to model nodes that are formed by a combination of IT infrastructure (devices, system software) and physical infrastructure (equipment); e.g., an MRI scanner at a hospital, a production plant with its control systems, etc.
Material can be accessed (e.g., created, used, stored, moved, or transformed) by equipment.
Equipment can serve other equipment, and also other active structure elements such as business roles and actors, and locations and facilities can be assigned to equipment. A piece of equipment can be composed of other pieces of equipment.
The name of a piece of equipment should preferably be a noun.
