Reference Model Abstract Class: ELEMENT

This class represents the leaf nodes within the EHR hierarchy. Each instance of this class will have a single data value, which is one of a defined set of data types. The ELEMENT class is declared abstract for use by the LRA and thus may be instantiated only through one of its non-abstract specialisations.
