 * it. For consistency, and ease of future work, all metadata objects added
 * should extend this class even though they may not currently have a need for
 * merging and overriding.
 *
 * Subclasses that care about merging need to concern themselves with the
 * following methods:
 * - getIdentifier() used to compare two named objects.
 * - equals() used to compare if two objects have similar metadata.
 * - setLocation() must be set on the accessible object. From annotations this
 *   is handled in the constructor. For XML objects you need to ensure their
 *   init method or processing method sets the location (that is, a mapping
 *   file) where the element was found.
