Add Asset
Make sure you have prepared a suitable submodel, which you need to link with the asset (see Submodel Service Details). From the submodel you will need its Base URL and Content type.
In Dataspace OS, the content type is set as application/json by default.
The Base URL of the submodel follows a straightforward schema:
http://[NameOfSubmodelService]:8080/v1/aas/submodels/data/[SubmodelID]
For example:
http://mysubmodelservice:8080/v1/aas/submodels/data/urn:uuid:05c805f0-563b-4d60-a7e4-189871dd80ae
