9	Controllable Device Type	Defines information about a class of controllable devices.
9	Measuring Component Type	Defines the most important properties of a measuring component.
9	Device Configuration Type	Defines properties of Device Configurations of a given type.
9	Device Type	Defines information about a class of devices.
10	Device Location Type	Defines specific types of locations at which devices are installed.
10	Metered Service Point Type	Defines specific types of points where services are provided.
10	Entity Group	Defines groups of entities, such as devices (including meters or controllable devices) or service points.
10	Weather Station	Defines specific weather stations
10	Postal Code Default	Defines postal code defaults
10	Usage Transaction Exception Types	Defines types of exceptions that may arise as part of program event settlement calculations (such as insufficient or invalid information, or an exception during calculation processsing or when retrieving data).
11	Program Calculation Group	Collections of program calculation rules used to calculate device control scores.
11	Program Settlement Calculation Group	Collections of program settlement calculation rules used to perform program settlement transaction calculations.
