 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Tagged Value</b></em>'.
 * <!-- end-user-doc -->
 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A tagged value allows information to be attached to any model element in the form of a "tagged value" pair (i.e., name = value). The interpretation of tagged value semantics is intentionally beyond the scope of CWM. It must be determined by user or tool conventions. It is expected that tools will define tags to supply information needed for their operations beyond the basic semantics of CWM. Such information could include code generation options, model management information, or user-specified semantics.
 * 
 * Even though TaggedValues are a simple and straightforward extension technique, their use restricts semantic interchange of metadata to only those tools that share a common understanding of the specific tagged value names.
