 * A model element is an element that represents some aspect of the existing system.
 * In the meta-model, a ModelElement is the base for all meta-elements of KDM. All other meta-elements are either direct
 * or indirect subclasses of ModelElement. ModelElement is an abstract meta-model element.
 * A ModelElement can be extended through the lightweight extension mechanism.
