* **Class**, i.e. tha actual class the individual belongs to
* **Description**
* **Placement**
* **Its Model**
* **Modeled Objects**
* **Parent Object**, in case of components in a hierarchy
* **Assignments to** other assets
* **Connected to** other assets
* **Container**, i.e. element that contains the asset (e.g. a building)
* assets that it **Contains**
* **Failure modes**
* **Representation**, i.e. 3D model
* **Capacity** in case of a buffer element
