Re: Device Description definition

Hello everyone, 
 
I'll just summarise my position here.
 
I think we should use the term either
 
- as a verb, meaning the process of describing devices in terms of sets of characteristics and properties of their hardware and software 
 
or
 
- as a noun describing that specific part of the delivery context directly related to the hardware and software of the device.
 
That second one is another way of saying what Kevin's second suggestion said with a bit more reuse of the existing glossary terms.
 
Rotan has made a number of points, which I won't repeat but with which I agree, about the potential internal structure of the underlying ontology. 
 
Best wishes
