 /**
  * Defines methods common to all DataDictionaryDefinition types.
  * 
  *     DD: The highest level objects in the data dictionary are of
         the following types:
         * BusinessObjectEntry
         * MaintenanceDocumentEntry
         * TransactionalDocumentEntry
 
     JSTL: The data dictionary is exposed as a Map which is accessed
     by referring to the "DataDictionary" global constant.  This Map contains
     the following kinds of entries keyed as indicated:
         * Business Object Entries -
             Key = dataObjectClass name
             Value = Map created by BusinessObjectEntryMapper
         * Maintenance Document entries -
             Key = DocumentType name
             Value = Map created by MaintenanceObjectEntryMapper
         * Transactional Document entries -
             Key = DocumentType name
             Value = Map created by TransactionalDocumentEntryMapper
 
     All elements are exposed to JSTL as Maps (where the element has a
     unique key by which they can be retrieved), or Strings.  For collections
     of elements having no unique key, the entry's position in the list
     (0, 1, etc.) is used as its index.
 
     All Maps (except the top-level DataDictionary one) are guaranteed to
     present their entries with an iteration order identical to the order
     in which the elements were defined in XML.
