Constraint represents rules that instances of Type-s must obey to be valid. A generic Constraint only has a 'description' element which describes the constraint in English. In future versions of the language extra elements may be added that give a more formal definition of the constraint. In particular we may add expressions in a language such as OCL or subset thereof tuned to VO-DML. In terms of OCL, VO-DML COnstraint-s are invariants of a Type.
