Category

Categories provide logical grouping of atomic data objects (scalar items, structured items, bulk items etc.).

Category names are defined in supplementary documents paired with libraries, each of which may be tailored for specific industry purposes. They follow a hierarchy structure, providing progressively more specialization.

Categories are found in Libraries, or device library objects.

Attributes

Name (Required)

Indicates the name of the defined category this object represents. This may be any category which is defined as a child of the parent category (if part of a nested structure).

Categories must always be defined in full using the defined hierarchy. In the example below, because rotate is defined as a child of frame, the full hierarchy must be stated.

{
  "udrtype": "category",
  "name": "frame",
  "children": [
    {
      "udrtype": "category",
      "name": "rotate",
      "children": [
        {

        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Children

Categories can have the following children:

• Scalar Item Class

• Structured Item Class

• Streaming Structured Item Class

• Bulk Item Class

Markup

• UDR Type: category

• Members:

  Key	Value Type	Represents
  name	string	Any valid child name defined in a supplementary document

Example:

{
  "udrtype": "category",
  "name": "frame",
  "children": [
    {
      "udrtype": "category",
      "name": "rotate",
      "children": [
        {

        }
      ]
    }
  ]
