Abstract
One disclosed example provides, enacted on a computing system, a method of resolving a device capability model (DCM) for a network connected device, the method comprising receiving, from the network connected device, an identifier of the DCM, based on the identifier received, determining whether the DCM is stored on the computing system, when the DCM is stored on the computing system, then retrieving the DCM from the computing system, when the DCM is not stored on the computing system, then retrieving the DCM from one or more of the network connected device and a DCM repository and storing the DCM on the computing system, receiving, from a software solution, an application programming interface (API) call to retrieve the DCM from the computing system, and in response to receiving the API call, returning the DCM to the software solution.
