Name	BinaryData
Abstract	yes
Documentation	Base of a type hierarchy to type the dataRef element in the main header (the sdmDataSubsetHeader element) at the instance level using the xsi:type attribute. Technical details: this design with an empty base on top of a type hierarchy allows to have an element with a single name but various different contents, specialized types being invoked at the instance level. This allows to implement very simply the integrity constraints using the key/keyref mechanism.
