/**
 * The named interface defines a powerful abstraction for external entities in a domain model. The features are
 * 
 * oid: a mandatory external identifier, an external identifier is visible to external systems or users. 
 * text: a human readable documentation of the instance. We recommend using markdown syntax for the text.
 * comments: human readable comments describing aspects of an instance.
 * tags: human readable and machine processable tags defining an ontology to classify instance in the domain model.
 * Orthogonal information can therefore be attached to instances.
 * 
 *  The external identifier shall be set at construction time.
