What is an Object Type?
An Object Type is a specification or prototype for an object. Object types define the properties, attributes and relationships that objects of their type can have.
Object Types and SubTypes
An object type can have sub-types that inherit the properties of their parent type. This means that you can create an object type with a default set of properties, then create more specialised object types without having to repeat all the object type configuration.
If you create an object that belongs to a parent type, it can later be converted to any of that parent's sub-types.
