Abstract
A method for providing context based artefact access to tenants of a cloud computing system includes receiving a request to access an artefact deployed on the cloud computing system. The request includes a tenant identifier and an artefact identifier. Context data associated with the artefact is determined based on the tenant identifier. Context data associated with the artefact is retrieved from an artefact repository stored in a database of the cloud computing system. Access to the artefact is provided based on the retrieved context data associated with the artefact on a device associated with the tenant.
Claims13
A method for providing context based artefact access to tenants of a cloud computing system, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to access an artefact deployed on the cloud computing system, wherein the request comprises a tenant identifier and an artefact identifier;
- determining context data associated with the artefact based on the tenant identifier;
- retrieving context data associated with the artefact from an artefact repository stored in a database of the cloud computing system;
- providing access to the artefact based on the retrieved context data associated with the artefact on a device associated with the tenant, wherein a context delivery service is provided by the cloud computing system, wherein context data is linked by the context delivery service to artefacts of assets of at least one industrial facility represented by a structured asset data model of the respective industrial facility stored in the database of the cloud computing system, the structured asset data model of the respective industrial facility reflecting a hierarchical structure and topology of the respective industrial facility, and wherein the artefacts of the assets comprise cloud applications, digital twin data models, or firmware used for commission, monitoring, controlling, maintaining, or any combination thereof of the respective assets of the respective industrial facility;
- connecting user devices via a network to a cloud interface of the cloud computing system;
- uploading context data from the user device to the cloud computing system linked automatically by the context delivery service of the cloud computing system to corresponding entities of the structured asset data model stored in the database of the cloud computing system;
- and
- downloading context data of entities of the structured asset data model stored in the database of the cloud computing system to the user device selected by the context delivery service in response to a received query.
A context delivery engine for a cloud computing system, wherein the context delivery engine comprises:
- a processor configured to:
- provide a context delivery service linking context data to artefacts of assets of at least one industrial facility represented by entities of a structured asset data model of the respective industrial facility stored in a database of the cloud computing system,
- wherein the context data is linked by a context delivery service to the artefacts of the assets of the at least one industrial facility represented by the entities of the structured asset data model of the respective industrial facility stored in the database of the cloud computing system, the asset data model of the respective industrial facility reflecting a hierarchical structure and topology of the industrial facility,
- wherein the artefacts of the assets comprise cloud applications, digital twin data models, or firmware used for commission, monitoring, controlling, maintaining, or any combination thereof of the respective assets of the respective industrial facility, and
- wherein user devices are connected via a network to a cloud interface of the cloud computing system to upload context data from the user device to the cloud computing system linked automatically by the context delivery service of the cloud computing system to corresponding entities of the structured asset data model stored in the database of the cloud computing system, download context data of entities of the structured asset data model stored in the database of the cloud computing system to the user device selected by the context delivery service in response to a received query, or a combination thereof.
