Defines the basic properties of every data value. This is an abstract type, meaning that no value can be just a data value without belonging to any concrete type. Every concrete type is a specialization of this general abstract DataValue type.

If a value is an exceptional value (NULL-value), this specifies in what way and why proper information is missing.

When valued in an instance, this attribute signals the imposition of realm-specific constraints. The value of this attribute identifies the realm in question

The integrity check is a short binary value representing a cryptographically strong checksum that is calculated over the binary data. The purpose of this property, when communicated with a reference is for anyone to validate later whether the reference still resolved to the same data that the reference resolved to when the encapsulated data value with reference was created.

Specifies the algorithm used to compute the integrityCheck value. The cryptographically strong checksum algorithm Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) is currently the industry standard.
