</PRE>

An object that describes a particular set of data, such as a measure of
 product unit prices or a dimension of time values.
 This class is the basic implementation of the <code>MetadataObject</code>
 interface.

An <code>MdmObject</code> has only the most fundamental properties, so
 very few specific data characteristics are associated with it.
 An <code>MdmObject</code> has methods that get or set the following
 characteristics of the object.

<UL>
 <LI>Name
 <LI>Descriptions
 <LI>Classifications
 </UL>

In addition to a name, an <code>MdmObject</code> can have other decriptive
 words or phrases associated with it, such as a plural name or a short or
 long description.
 An <code>MdmObject</code> can also have one or more classifications.
 Classifications are assigned and handled by an application.
