dynamically updating a first data model link between a first one or more asset data model components of an asset data model and a first one or more device data model components of a device data model, wherein the device data model contains data collected from a plurality of devices and control operations performed upon the plurality of devices, and organized based on one or more attributes of the plurality of devices and the first data model link maps data characteristics of the first one or more asset data model components of the asset data model to the first one or more device data model components of the device data model;

processing the device data model to determine normalized data relationship paths utilized by an inference engine to populate a device element data set, wherein at least a first determined normalized data relationship path for a first one or more devices is inferred;

executing, by operation of one or more computer processors, an asset data model query against the asset data model comprising analyzing asset data model component metrics by querying the device element data set, based on the updated first data model link;

executing a control operation based on the asset data model query against the device element data set and the updated first data model link; and

generating an asset data model descriptive analytics determination output, based on the execution of the asset data model query.
