OM Syntaxes for Attribute Values

An OM attribute is made up of an integer uniquely defined within a package that indicates the OM attribute's type, an integer giving that value's syntax, and an information item called a value. The syntaxes defined by the XOM API standard are closely aligned with ASN.1 types and type constructors.

Some syntaxes are described in the standard in terms of syntax templates.

A syntax template defines a group of related syntaxes. The syntax templates that are defined are as follows:

· Enum(*)

· Object(*)

· String(*)
