+Accessing node types
+--------------------
+
+If we want to retrieve node instances from a ``global_id`` (scalar that identifies an instance by it's type name and id),
+we can simply do ``Node.get_node_from_global_id(global_id, contet, info)``.
+
+In the case we want to restric the instnance retrieval to an specific type, we can do:
+``Node.get_node_from_global_id(global_id, contet, info, only_type=Ship)``. This will raise an error
+if the global_id doesn't correspond to a Ship type.
