+The prefixes `$aas`, `$sm`, `$sme`, `$cd`, `$aasdesc` and `$smdesc` correspond directly to the AAS Metamodel classes `AssetAdministrationShell`, `Submodel`, `SubmodelElement`, `ConceptDescription`, `AssetAdministrationShellDescriptor` and `SubmodelDescriptor`, and to the API resources `/shells`, `/submodels`, `.../submodel-elements/{idShortPath}`, `/concept-descriptions`, `/shell-descriptors` and `/submodel-descriptors` respectively. The normative cross-specification mapping is given in the "Terminology Across IDTA-01001, IDTA-01002 and IDTA-01004" section of IDTA-01001 (AAS Metamodel). All prefixes are lower-case; variants such as `$aasDesc` or `$SmDesc` MUST be rejected by conforming parsers.

 Attribute declarations point to literal values that provide the input for comparisons. It is not possible to point to objects or lists, only atomic values. Attribute declarations present a subset of the attributes defined by the AAS Metamodel and the extension classes of Clause xref:specification/interfaces-payload.adoc[Data Types for Payload].
