Comments

This class holds the 'description' and 'extension' attributes, which are inherited by all 'Core', 'Utility', and 'Domain Entity' classes in the model. Its child class ' Entity' holds additional generic metadata attributes that all core classes in the model inherit (e.g. things like ids/identifiers, labels, xrefs, etc.)
