Topic: Bed as a physical type
Jens Villadsen (May 27 2016 at 09:30):
Can someone explain me how a bed can be a location.physicalType?
Jens Villadsen (May 27 2016 at 09:30):
Ain't it more a bedPlace?
Jens Villadsen (May 27 2016 at 09:31):
the same goes for Vehicle
Jens Villadsen (May 27 2016 at 09:31):
both entities are mostly known not to be of static character
Erich Schulz (May 27 2016 at 10:16):
well I guess bed refers to "the spot the bed sits" - ie the bricks and mortar rather than the metal trolley on wheels
Jens Villadsen (May 27 2016 at 21:21):
so its a bedplace
Jens Villadsen (May 27 2016 at 21:23):
@Erich Schulz it makes a lot of difference when you are eg. doing tracking
Jens Villadsen (May 27 2016 at 21:23):
it makes no sense to track a bedplace
Jens Villadsen (May 27 2016 at 21:23):
whereas it does make sense to track a bed

@Brian Postlethwaite - marking this for your attention once you resurface

A location doesn't have to be a static place. For example a mobile clinic can be a location, even though it's not always in the same place.
You could model each "trolley" as a physical thing, and then you could update it's co-ords within the facility if desired.
Or you could map the 5 "beds" that are in a room, and not be specific about the actual physical device.

This isn't a simple situation here, and is complicated with the Organization structures too.
