Remarks

OPC Studio uses the relative browse path string format recommended by the OPC specification, but extends it by an ability to specify the starting node ID (and therefore introducing the absolute browse paths), and by an ability to specify the namespaces not by an index into a namespace table, but by a namespace URI. The precise syntax of these extensions is beyond the current scope of this document, and the description below is just a close approximation.

An OPC-UA browse path can be represented by a string; in such case, it can express either a relative or absolute browse path (the UABrowsePath object cannot hold relative browse paths).

As mentioned above, the format of the browse path string is such that the individual elements (usually, node names) are separated by delimiters. In OPC-UA, the delimiter actually precedes every element, i.e. there is a delimiter also at the beginning of the relative browse path. Different delimiters are available for specifying various reference types. Following delimiters are available:

Delimiter	Description
/	Follow any subtype of HierarchicalReferences (technically, numerical node Id 44 in namespace 0).
.	Follow any subtype of Aggregates reference type (technically, numerical node Id 33 in namespace 0). This is stricter than '/'.
*<referenceSpecifier>*	Follow the specified reference type. A ‘#’ placed in front of the reference type name indicates that subtypes should not be followed. A ‘!’ in front of the reference type name is used to indicate that the inverse reference should be followed.

If the OPC-UA browse path does not start with any of the above delimiters, it denotes an absolute path that starts from the node specified at the beginning of the string. For example, “[Objects]/Boilers” is an example of such absolute OPC-UA browse path, whereas “/Boilers” in OPC-UA is a relative browse path.

The string form of an OPC-UA browse path is a concept on the client side (OPC Studio), and the browse paths strings are not directly processed by OPC-UA servers.

Because the node names can contain any characters, we need to consider situations in which the node name itself contains a slash (‘/’) or a dot (‘.’). In such case, in the string format of browse paths, these characters are escaped by preceding them with an ampersand (‘&’). An ampersand itself needs to be escaped, too.
