Asset register · The register · Element
The location
Where the asset is, in terms specific enough to find it.
The part
What it is
An asset nobody can find is functionally absent regardless of what the register says, which is the most common finding in a first physical verification.
For intangible assets, location means where it is hosted, held or registered — which is exactly as important and rather more often unknown.
The smallest level
The attributes it carries
Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
