Table 154 defines the namespace metadata for this specification. The Objec namespace metadata is used to provide version information for the namespace and an indication about static Nodes. Static Nodes are identical for all Attributes in all Servers, including the Value Attribute. See OPC 10000-5 for more details.
The information is provided as Object of the type NamespaceMetadataType. This Object is a component of the Namespace Object that is part of the Server Object . The NamespaceMetadataType ObjectType and its Properties are defined in OPC 10000-5.
The version information is also provided as part of the ModelTableEntry in the UANodeSet XML file. The UANodeSet XML schema is defined in OPC 10000-6.

Namespaces are used by OPC UA to create unique identifiers across different naming authorities. The Attributes NodeId and BrowseName are identifiers. A Node in the UA AddressSpace is unambiguously identified using a NodeId. Unlike NodeIds, the BrowseName cannot be used to unambiguously identify a Node. Different Nodes may have the same BrowseName. They are used to build a browse path between two Nodes or to define a standard Property.
Servers may often choose to use the same namespace for the NodeId and the BrowseName. However, if they want to provide a standard Property, its BrowseName shall have the namespace of the standard body although the namespace of the NodeId reflects something else, for example the EngineeringUnits Property. All NodeIds of Nodes not defined in this specification shall not use the standard namespaces.
Table 176 provides a list of mandatory and optional namespaces used in a weighing technology OPC UA server.
Table 176 – Namespaces used in a Weighing Technology Server
|

Description |
Use |
|
Namespace for NodeIds and BrowseNames defined in the OPC UA specification. This namespace shall have namespace index 0. |
Mandatory |
|
|
Local Server URI |
Namespace for nodes defined in the local server. This may include types and instances used in an AutoID Device represented by the server. This namespace shall have namespace index 1. |
Mandatory |
|
Namespace for NodeIds and BrowseNames defined in OPC 10000-100. The namespace index is server specific. |
Mandatory |
|
|
Namespace for NodeIds and BrowseNames defined in this specification. The namespace index is server specific. |

Vendor-specific types and instances |
A server may provide vendor-specific types like types derived from ObjectTypes defined in this specification or vendor-specific instances of those types in a vendor-specific namespace. |
Optional |
Table 177 provides a list of namespaces and their index used for BrowseNames in this specification. The default namespace of this specification is not listed since all BrowseNames without prefix use this default namespace.
