Type of IS information

---

Introduction

Any information object in the IS has a fundamental property called Type. Object type is represented by object of class ISType. An object, which represents an information type, encapsulates information about the structure of the corresponding information object allowing to perform some operations on the objects types, like type comparison and type inheritance checking. An addition an object type contains the unique name of that type, which is used to get access to the type description.
