Definition
A set of characteristics describing a Transfer Object Group. Typically there can be multiple Transfer Object Groups conforming to the same Transfer Object Group Type.
Introduction
PAIS requires that each Transfer Object Type Descriptor has at least one Transfer Object Group Type. Each Transfer Object Group Type container may contain any number of additional Group Type containers and an unlimited number of Data Object Types.
These containers are convenient for modeling hierarchies such as directory structures.
