Share register models

Continued from sunspec/models#44:

I have for some time been developing https://github.com/volkszaehler/mbmd - different language, different goals.

One thing that I see as common denominator is the mapping of specific registers (especially outside of sunspec) to a) their physical meaning and b) the necessary en/decoding. If you which we could join forces and design some kind of meta representation that would allow to create the likes of https://github.com/volkszaehler/mbmd/tree/master/meters/rs485 in a generative way.

Hi @andig,

I realized I never responded to your excellent suggestion from so many years ago.

Sorry about that.

I have read it and it did start me thinking; can this be done?

Over the years I have been working on something that may interest you in this light: https://modbus.basjes.nl

This includes an open standard (to be clear, it's my standard) way of describing the mapping schema for a modbus device and also includes a (first version) of a code generator that is capable of generating Java and Kotlin code from that.

I'm archiving this project on favor of that new one.
