Properties
Nodes are grouped into node classes that are characterised by a set of properties.
Nodes that belong to the same node class have the same set of properties.
The Plug-ins define and publish the node classes according to the structure of the
objects they have to configure.
Properties are attributes of a node, which can assume different values according to
the need of the specific configuration.
A node inherits the set of properties of the node class it belongs to.
