Implement Searching in AAS #212

Currently, the only option to find an object inside an AAS is to iterate. It might make sense to implement some form of searching inside AASs, especially for the API.

As you mentioned, currently the only possible approach to search, filter, aggregate is to manually load the json, parse them, iterate through them and do some computation on them.

Just as an idea:

When RDF is implemented, with the help of RDFLib, it is possible to run SPARQL queries.
It would be a nice feature to also generate queries. So the search method offers a (SPARQL, MongoDB, CouchDB ,....) query generation functionality. This is quite complex, but it can be very rewarding.

Indeed, the ability to run SPARQL queries would be an extremely powerful tool. Thank you for your suggestion, we'll keep it in mind!
