1. A method for naming a plurality of building automation objects of a building automation model, the method comprising:
providing a building automation device; providing a building automation model comprising a parent view node object representing the building automation device and a child view node object logically linked to a field device, the field device comprising a sensor or an actuator, wherein the child view node object is logically linked to the parent view node object forming a hierarchical structure; assigning an object-name to the parent view node object representing a name of the building automation device; and assigning an object-name to the child view node object comprising the object-name of the parent view node object and a name representing the field device, wherein the hierarchal structure is formed by a logical tree of at least parent-child-grandchild nodes such that each child is logically linked to a corresponding parent and each grandchild is logically linked to a corresponding child, forming a logically linked list.
