This interface does not completely capture the modeling intent. Use HierarchicalIdentifier instead.

Conceptual representation of a logical path in a tree-like structure, similar to a Path, but more general in terms of what objects it can be applied to. Paths have an equivalence class, which is captured in the defining type. Paths also have the notion of containment, where one path is said to contain another path if it the data set identified by the former contains all elements of the data set represented by later.
