Element classifies the elementary, atomic constructs of models. Element is the root Class within the MOF Model.

Attributes
Primitive Type string	annotation	Provides an informal description of the Element.
Primitive Type string	name	Provides a meta-modeler supplied name that uniquely identifies the Element in the context of the ModelElement’s containing Namespace. When choosing an Element’s name, the meta-modeler should consider the rules for translating names into identifiers in the relevant mappings.
Primitive Type string	qualifiedName	Provides a unique name for the Element within the context of its outermost containing Package. The qualifiedName is a list of NameType values consisting of the names of the Element, its container, its container’s container and so on until a non-contained element is reached. The first member of the list is the name of the non-contained element. The 'qualifiedName' of an Element is of the form :. is the full-qualified package name, i.e. org:omg:model1. Samples for 'qualifiedName': org:omg:model1:Attribute org:openmdx::audit2:UnitOfWork

 qualifiedName

public Primitive Type string qualifiedName

Provides a unique name for the Element within the context of its outermost containing Package. The qualifiedName is a list of NameType values consisting of
the names of the Element, its container, its container’s container and so on until a non-contained element is reached. The first member of the list is the name
of the non-contained element.

The 'qualifiedName' of an Element is of the form :. is the full-qualified package name, i.e. org:omg:model1. Samples for 'qualifiedName':

• org:omg:model1:Attribute


• org:openmdx::audit2:UnitOfWork
