The JoiningSystemType provides the overview of the information exposed from a given joining system.

Note:

• An instance of the JoiningSystemType does not represent a specific asset. It is a container which represents an entry point for assets, results, etc. in the joining system.
• An instance of a JoiningSystemType can be associated with other joining systems using AssociatedWith or any other reference type. It can be useful when there is an aggregation of multiple joining systems.
