Just a note -- we inconsistenly write "micro service" and "microservice". Not sure which one is correct, its a nitpick but its back and forth all over the place :)

| Device profiles define general characteristics about devices, the data they provide, and how to command them. Think of a device profile as a template of a type or classification of device. For example, a device profile for BACnet thermostats provides general characteristics for the types of data a BACnet thermostat sends, such as current temperature and humidity level. It also defines which types of commands or actions EdgeX can send to the BACnet thermostat. Examples might include actions that set the cooling or heating point. Device profiles are typically specified in YAML file and uploaded to EdgeX. More details are provided below. | ||

I am surprised how much information we have about devices and device profile in the metadata section. It seems to me this should provide a link over to devices services section and describe what goes into one over there. Yet, we're describing every piece of the device profile document in metadata. I think the relationship is necessary to describe here, but details about what makes up a profile doesn't seem appropriate here.
