public class AssetReferenceable
extends AssetElementHeader

Many open metadata entities are referenceable. It means that they have a qualified name and additional properties. In addition the Referenceable class adds support for the parent asset, guid, url and type for the entity through extending ElementHeader. There is also the possibility that referenceable may have meanings (glossary terms) assigned. Asset meanings are extracted on demand by the caller.
