```
public class DataType
extends java.lang.Object
```
Enumeration-like class describing types of data object which can be supplied by a DataNode. This is intended to cover the sort of object - like a table or array - which can have useful things done to it by external applications. It's not designed to enumerate a fine-grained list of all possible objects which might relate to a node.
