8.2.4 Objects

This standard Object is the browse entry point for Object Nodes. Figure 3 illustrates the structure beneath this Node. Only Organizes References are used to relate Objects to the "Objects" standard Object. A View Node can be used as entry point into a subset of the AddressSpace containing Objects and Variables and thus the "Objects" Object can also reference View Nodes using Organizes References. The intent of the "Objects" Object is that all Objects and Variables that are not used for type definitions or other organizational purposes (e.g. organizing the Views) are accessible through hierarchical References starting from this Node. However, this is not a requirement, because not all Servers may be able to support this. This Object references the standard Server Object defined in 8.3.2.

Figure 3 – Objects organization

The "Objects" Object is formally defined in Table 102.
