8.2.11 InterfaceTypes

This standard Object Node is the browse entry point for ObjectType Nodes that represent Interfaces. Figure 7A illustrates the structure beneath this Node showing some of the standard ObjectTypes defined in clause 6. Only Organizes References are used to relate Objects and Interfaces to the “InterfaceTypes” standard Object. The “InterfacesTypes” Object shall not reference any other NodeClasses.
