A Reference is a Relation that indicates a kind of "usage" relationship between the target ObjectType and the owner of the reference, the "referrer". The referrer can be an ObjectType (typically) but also a DataType. The relation is looser than the composition relationship, acting like a semantically meaningful pointer rather than indicating a component of the referrer. Consequently, in general many referrers can point at the same target instance, and ObjectType-s can be the target in different reference definitions. The lifecycle of the target is not bound to that of the referrer. Often the target instance is used to provide a context for the definition of the referrer. For example a coordinate frame may be referenced to provide context to coordinate values. TBD more needed ...? TBD Should have multiplicity 0..1 or 1?
