This Structured DataTypeis used to provide the meta data for a custom Structure DataType. It is derived from the DataType DataTypeDefinition. The StructureDefinitionis formally defined in Table 32.

|
DefaultEncodingId |
NodeId |
The NodeIdof the default DataTypeEncoding for the DataType. The default depends on the message encoding, Default Binary for UA Binary encoding, Default JSON for JSON encoding and Default XML for XML encoding. If the DataTypeis only used inside nested Structuresand is not directly contained in an ExtensionObject, the encoding NodeIdis null. |
|
BaseDataType |
NodeId |
The NodeIdof the direct supertype of the DataType. This might be the abstract Structureor the Union DataType. |
|
StructureType |
StructureType |
An enumeration that specifies the type of Structure defined by the DataType. The StructureType DataType is defined in 8.49. Only one of the fields defined for the data type is encoded into a value if the data type is a Union. |
|
Fields |
StructureField [] |
The list of fields that make up the data type. This definition assumes the structure has a sequential layout. The StructureField DataTypeis defined in 8.51. For Structuresderived from another Structure DataTypethis list shall begin with the fields of the baseDataType followed by the fields of this StructureDefinition. |
