Description

DeviceSoftwareIdentity allows a device to report its software related asset information (firmware, drivers, configuration software, and etc.)\nNote that the Application Model manages the deployment and installation of software via the classes, SoftwareFeatures and SoftwareElements. If there is sufficient detail or instrumentation to instantiate the deployment/installation concepts then the DeviceSoftware association should be used to tie LogicalDevices to their SoftwareElements.
