Abstract
A method for integrating assets of an automated system includes defining base services of the automated system. A directory of assets within the automated system is provided. A common name space associated with each asset in the directory is also provided. Each asset in the directory is linked using the common name space. The assets are integrated by extending at least one asset to another asset to perform a base service of the automated system.
