Linked Premises - how specific to be when linking?

[corymosiman12]

As summarized preliminarily here:

• https://github.com/BuildingSync/TestSuite/pull/19#discussion_r470904792

The question comes down to:

• What does a link between a 'System' and a Building or Section mean?
• Do we just say: "Link to the lowest common denominator is what we expect?"

I believe our approach from BSync perspective is we would just expect the lowest common denominator to be linked.

@markborkum @nllong thoughts?

@corymosiman12 Audit Template assumes that links, such as <auc:LinkedPremises> elements, have no semantics, and are purely structural, i.e., that their only information content is the identity of the source and target endpoints of the link itself.

Audit Template's "Building" and "HvacSystem" classes map to <auc:Building> and <auc:HVACSystem> elements, respectively. There is a foreign key from the corresponding database table for "HvacSystem" to that for "Building", so in BuildingSync, we represent the association as a <auc:LinkedPremises> element.

Cool - thanks for the clarification
