@TypeMetadata(name="Element", description="This is the base type for Element", version="1.0.0") @Change(version="1.0.0", description="First Version") public interface Element extends Serializable
The base interface for all elements in the Information System model.

This interface provides a common foundation for various types of elements, ensuring they are serializable and can be identified by type during JSON processing. It defines constants for type identification and date-time formatting.
