OPC UA offers two complex data models. They do not have "official" names, but the historically first one is based on the DataTypeDictionary type, and the second one is based on the DataTypeDefinition type. We will therefore usually refer to them as "DataTypeDictionary model" (or "data type dictionary model"), and "DataTypeDefinition model" (or "data type definition model").

The table below summarizes the main difference between the two models.
