/**
* This interface defines a class in an EMF model for an SIR disease model label
* value. The values of this label record the number of population members who
* are in one of three states with respect to a particular disease.
* <ul>
* <li><em>Susceptible</em> which means that they are not infected by the
* disease, but they can become infected by the disease.</li>
* <li><em>Infectious</em> which means that population members are infected
* with the disease and they can infect others. </li>
* <li><em>Recovered</em> which means that population members are not
* infected with the disease and <em>cannot</em> become infected by the
* disease. Note that in some disease models a population member in the
* <em>Recovered</em> state could transition to the <em>Susceptible</em>
* state and then become a candidate for re-infection.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* Sub-classes could introduce additional states in which population members
* could exist.
