## Object Hierarchy

      GObject
       +----AtspiObject
             +----AtspiAccessible

## Implemented Interfaces

AtspiAccessible implements AtspiAction, AtspiCollection, AtspiComponent, AtspiDocument, AtspiEditableText, AtspiHypertext, AtspiImage, AtspiSelection, AtspiTable, AtspiText and AtspiValue.

## Description

The base interface which is implemented by all accessible objects. All objects support interfaces for querying their contained 'children' and position in the accessible-object hierarchy, whether or not they actually have children.
