A quality common to all members of an object class. A property may be any feature that humans naturally use to distinguish one individual object from another. It is the human perception of a single quality of an object class in the real world. It is conceptual and thus has no particular associated means of representation by which the property can be communicated.

ObjectClass and Property are treated as a data model that can be mapped to like any other. This extension merely captures the Property element as a discrete code. The information conveyed here should also be conveyed in human-readable form in the mapping.map element.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
