255 255  * The [[Dimension>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.DimensionComponent.Dimension.WebHome]], [[DataAttribute>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.AttributeComponent.DataAttribute.WebHome]], [[Measure>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.Measure.WebHome]], [[MetadataAttribute>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.AttributeComponent.MetadataAttribute.WebHome]] may be [[enumerated>>doc:IMElements.enumerated.WebHome]] and, if so, use an //[[EnumeratedList>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.EnumeratedList.WebHome]]//.
256 -* The [[Dimension>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.DimensionComponent.Dimension.WebHome]] and [[Measure>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.Measure.WebHome]] may be [[non-enumerated>>doc:IMElements.nonEnumerated.WebHome]] and, if so, use one or more [[Facet>>doc:IMElements.Facet.WebHome]](s), note that the FacetValueType applicable to the [[TimeDimension>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.DimensionComponent.TimeDimension.WebHome]] is restricted to those that represent time.
257 -* The [[MetadataAttribute>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.AttributeComponent.MetadataAttribute.WebHome]] and [[DataAttribute>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.AttributeComponent.DataAttribute.WebHome]] may be [[non-enumerated>>doc:IMElements.nonEnumerated.WebHome]] and, if so, use one or more [[ExtendedFacet>>doc:IMElements.ExtendedFacet.WebHome]](s).
256 +* The [[Dimension>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.DimensionComponent.Dimension.WebHome]] and [[Measure>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.Measure.WebHome]] may be non-[[enumerated>>doc:IMElements.enumerated.WebHome]] and, if so, use one or more Facet(s), note that the FacetValueType applicable to the [[TimeDimension>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.DimensionComponent.TimeDimension.WebHome]] is restricted to those that represent time.
257 +* The [[MetadataAttribute>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.AttributeComponent.MetadataAttribute.WebHome]] and [[DataAttribute>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.Component.AttributeComponent.DataAttribute.WebHome]] may be non-[[enumerated>>doc:IMElements.enumerated.WebHome]] and, if so, use one or more ExtendedFacet(s).
258 258  
259 259  The //[[Structure>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.WebHome]]// may be used by one or more //[[StructureUsage>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.WebHome]]//(s). An example of this, in terms of concrete classes, is that a [[Dataflow>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.Dataflow.WebHome]] (sub class of //[[StructureUsage>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.WebHome]]//) may use a particular [[DataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.DataStructureDefinition.WebHome]] (sub class of //[[Structure>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.WebHome]]//), and similar constructs apply for the [[Metadataflow>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.Metadataflow.WebHome]] (link to [[MetadataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.MetadataStructureDefinition.WebHome]]).
