The examples

What has looked like one before.

The part

What it is

Including the ones that were missed, which are usually the more instructive.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
