The Software Update AddIn can be used at different places to update Firmware, Applications or the Configuration of a device. With the current specification an Update Client cannot distinguish between these classes of software.
In some cases this distinction is required for example because a device can work without an application but not without a Firmware. For a Firmware the manufacturer database can be queried. An application might be pushed from the operator.
Additionally an Applications itself can have different types (e.g. webserver, database) and there can be multiple instances of an application.
The specification should provide the information whether the component is an Application, a Firmware or a Configuration. Additionally there should be a subclass to name different types of applications and (if multiple instances possible) a name of the instance of the software.
