xelemendid
Xelemendid are a theoretical construct in modular data modeling used to represent loosely coupled, reusable components that can be assembled into larger systems. They function as building blocks that maintain identity across configurations, enabling dynamic composition while minimizing hard-coded dependencies.
Each xelement carries a minimal schema consisting of a unique identifier, a concrete type, optional metadata,
Common categorizations include primitive xelement (holding a basic value), container xelement (holding a collection of child
Xelemendid are declared in a model definition and instantiated at runtime by a configuration or orchestration
Use cases include configuration management, plugin architectures, and dynamic user interfaces, where components are selected and
Xelemendid are related to, but distinct from, standard XML elements, JSON objects, or graph nodes. The emphasis
