/**
 * <!-- begin-user-doc -->
 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Qualifier Value</b></em>'.
 * <!-- end-user-doc -->
 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A link cannot be passed as a runtime value to or from an action. Instead, a link is identified by its end objects and qualifier values, as required. This requires more than one piece of data, namely, the end in the user model, the object on the end, and the qualifier values for that end. These pieces are brought together around LinkEndData. Each association end is identified separately with an instance of the LinkEndData class.
