Object types and links can contain properties: a name-value collection of primitive data associated with the given object or link instance.
Every property is declared to have a specific scalar type or a collection type based on a scalar.
There are two kinds of property item declarations: abstract properties, and concrete properties. Abstract properties are defined on the module level and are not tied to any particular object type or link. Typically this is done to set some annotations, or define constraints. Concrete properties are defined on specific object types.
Similar to links, properties have a
source (the object on which they are defined) and one or more
targets (the values that property can have). The number of targets
is specified by the keywords required,
single, and multi. It is also possible to restrict how many
source objects can link to the same target via the
exclusive constraint. For the purpose of figuring
out the number of property targets, a collection type target by itself is considered a
single target.
Propery SDL, DDL, and introspection (as part of overall object introspection).
