The Connected Asset OMAS implements the open metadata ConnectedAssetProperties API for an OCF connector.  An OCF connector is a connector that supports the Open Connector Framework (OCF). It has two APIs:

• An API to access the asset it connects to
• An API to access the metadata about the asset the connector accesses

The ConnectedAssetProperties is the second API on an OCF connector - the one for the metadata about the asset.   It is a generic API for all types of open metadata assets. However, it assumes the asset's metadata model inherits from Asset (see model 0010 in Area 0).

...

• Asset Summary - used for displaying details of the asset in summary lists or hover text
  • Type - information about the specific type of the asset
  • QualifiedName - official name of the asset (name from Asset - model 0010 in Area 0)
  • ShortDescription - short description about the asset (assetSummary property from ConnectionsToAsset relationship - model 0105 in Area 2)
  • Description - full description of the asset (description from Asset - model 0010)
  • Owner - name of the person or organization that owns the asset (owner from Asset - model 0010)
  • Classifications - list of classifications assigned directly to the asset, or its schema/definitions

• Asset Detail - adds the following information to Asset Summary.  It is used to display all of the information known about the asset with summaries of the relationships to other metadata
  • Properties - properties and nested structures for the asset (these are defined in the type model)
  • Relationships - summaries of the relationships to other assets

• Asset Universe - adds the following information to Asset Detail.  It is used to define the broader context for the asset
  • Infrastructure - details of the underlying infrastructure supporting the asset (all from Area 0)
  • Collaboration - details to the people, products and feedback that are connected to the asset (see Area 1 of the model)
  • Definitions - details of the schema(s) and definitions associated with the asset (see Area 3 and Area 5 of the model)
  • Governance - the list of governance requirements, typically associated with the classifications associated with the asset (see Area 4 of the model).
  • Annotations - details of the annotation added by the discovery services (see Area 6 of the model)
  • Lineage - details of the lineage for the asset (see Area 7 of the model)
