SoftType: PhysicalItem
Represents a physical tangible individual artefact that can be uniquely identified.
A physical item is a thing that forms part of or is a tangible system, either as a single component, a complete item or a system, or sub-set of these.
A physical item is either procured, designed, fabricated, warehoused, assembled, distributed or maintained.
A physical item may be hardware, software or firmware, which is used, built, operated or maintained.
A physical item may refer to the specification i.e the part that was used to manufacture it.
