@UML(identifier="RecordSchema", specification=ISO_19103) public interface RecordSchema
Record schemas do not provide a hierarchical framework within which data types may be organized.
Name spaces, however, do define a hierarchical framework for arbitrary
named items. Record schemas can participate in this framework by virtue of the fact that they
are all identified by local name or some subclass. A schema's location
in the hierarchy can be communicated by
getSchemaName().scope().name()
.
