## HIM profiles
The HIM model supports different information types,
and a server exposing an interface that uses HIM for its data representation may have to implement features that its clients have no interest in.
A server to be used in an environment where the Resource data type (i. e. classical signals) is used can then be
implemented without support for a service oriented architecture (SOA).
To support scenarios like this HIM specifies the three different profiles shown below.

A client that issues an inquiry on what profile is supported shall receive information on that in the response.

### HIM Resource Profile
The HIM Resource profile excludes use of trees that contain the Service data information type.
This profile is for example compatible with the VSS tree.

### HIM Service Profile
The HIM Service profile excludes use of trees that contain the Resource data information type.
This profile can for example be used in "pure" SOA architectures.

### HIM All Profile
The HIM All profile supports use of trees that contain data of any HIM specified information type.
This makes it possible for a server to serve clients that wants to have access to both "classical signals" and services represented by function calls.

## Heritage
The ideas behind HIM originated in the [COVESA VSS](https://github.com/COVESA/vehicle_signal_specification) project,
when interest started to be raised for using it for of not only resource data but also service data,
