-[This AAS example](https://admin-shell-io.github.io/questions-and-answers/Examples/isCaseOf_Examples.aasx) contains a template of "Technical Data" submodel with two properties indicating how alterantive semantic IDs can be used in AAS modeling. For example, the "ManufacturerName" property, has a semantic ID "https://admin-shell.io/sandbox/SG2/TechnicalData/ManufacturerName/1/1" and two isCaseOf references to a ELASS and a CDD IRDIs (the references are within the ConceptDescription).

+No, see the [cited document](https://eclass.eu/fileadmin/Redaktion/pdf-Dateien/Broschueren/2021-06-29_Whitepaper_PlattformI40-ECLASS.pdf) (page 29). New defined elements in ECLASS to define Submodels should be used once available. The only exception is to use application/classification classes in submodels is to denote the category of a product (see ProductClassId property example within the TechnicalData Submodel template).
