Scope: A Type is a Class of Classes: that is, the instances of Types are themselves Classes. Types include all 'allowed value' lists: for example, avs:TitleType, avs:ResourceType. Types are often formed from the children of a Term (for example, all the SubClasses of Title may form the instances of avs:TitleType), but the grouping of Types may be based on any common attributes, or may be entirely arbitrary.

Example: ImageType is a Type whose members include the Classes 'Photograph' and 'Logo'.
