6.7 Data Value Representations

   [25] DataValue := 26: SingleValueData | 30:MultiValueData

   [26] SingleValueData := 28:TextualValue | NumericValue | EnumValue | 27: BooleanValue | TypeCodeValue | StructValue | UnionValue | 6:ClassInstance | 13: ClassInstanceRef

   The data types of Attributes in MOF are based on CORBA TypeCodes. Therefore, for each concrete TypeCode, the HUTN must define a textual representation for instances of that type. Furthermore, a MOF Attribute may be defined as a collection kind (Set, Bag, List, UList) of these data types.

   Note that the system of data typing used by MOF is currently being revised, and that a final submission will need to conform to these revised data types.
