The complete AddressSpace Model including all NodeClasses and Attributes is specified in OPC 10000-3. The predefined Information Model is defined in OPC 10000-5. The Services to detect and access historical data and events, and description of the ExtensibleParameter types are specified in OPC 10000-4.
