Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be unique in the XML document within which it
occurs. An external identifier for the object in the form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods.
This is done by concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the id attribute.

A definition, which can be included in or referenced by a dictionary. In this extended type, the inherited "description" optional
element can hold the definition whenever only text is needed. The inherited "name" elements can provide one or more brief
terms for which this is the definition. The inherited "metaDataProperty" elements can be used to reference or include more
information about this definition.
The gml:id attribute is required - it must be possible to reference this definition using this handle.

Annotations
A non-abstract bag that is specialized for use as a dictionary which contains a set of definitions. These definitions are
referenced from other places, in the same and different XML documents. In this restricted type, the inherited optional "description"
element can be used for a description of this dictionary. The inherited optional "name" element can be used for the name(s)
of this dictionary. The inherited "metaDataProperty" elements can be used to reference or contain more information about this
dictionary. The inherited required gml:id attribute allows the dictionary to be referenced using this handle.

An entry in a dictionary of definitions. An instance of this type contains or refers to a definition object.
The number of definitions contained in this dictionaryEntry is restricted to one, but a DefinitionCollection or Dictionary
that contains multiple definitions can be substituted if needed. Specialized descendents of this dictionaryEntry might be
restricted in an application schema to allow only including specified types of definitions as valid entries in a dictionary.

Namespace

Annotations
An entry in a dictionary of definitions that contains a GML object which references a remote definition object. This entry
is expected to be convenient in allowing multiple elements in one XML document to contain short (abbreviated XPointer) references,
which are resolved to an external definition provided in a Dictionary element in the same XML document. Specialized descendents
of this dictionaryEntry might be restricted in an application schema to allow only including specified types of definitions
as valid entries in a dictionary.

A proxy entry in a dictionary of definitions. An element of this type contains a reference to a remote definition object.
This entry is expected to be convenient in allowing multiple elements in one XML document to contain short (abbreviated XPointer)
references, which are resolved to an external definition provided in a Dictionary element in the same XML document.
Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be unique in the XML document within which it

This is done by concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the id attribute.

This content model group makes it easier to construct types that
derive from DefinitionType and its descendents "by restriction".
A reference to the group saves having to enumerate the standard definition properties.
