The CompanyType is a concrete VariableType that can be used directly. It is a subtype of BaseDataVariableType defined in OPC 10000-5

This VariableType is used to provide details regarding company information for PhysicalAssetClassTypes or for instances of PhysicalAssetType. In most instances this type will be further subtyped to provide additional information regarding the company. The ISA-95 specification does not define a structure or set of fields for company information. Some systems will provide a list of additional information, such as address, contact and other details. Other system may simply provide a link or reference to some other system that provides the detailed company information. In later sections, this specification will provide a TypicalCompanyType (see D.3) that can be used as a default if no other linked system exists. This type could also be further subtyped as needed.
