7.28 3DFrameType

This complex VariableType is used for information about frames in 3D space. It reflects the semantic of its DataType, defined in 12.31. It refines the DataTypes and VariableTypes of the CartesianCoordinates and Orientation to the corresponding 3D types. The VariableType is formally defined in Table 86.
