/**
 * The item class enables the definition of open types in the appropriate interfaces.
 *
 * This class contains a number of methods that make it possible to create open types for {@link CompositeType},
 * {@link TabularType}, and {@link ArrayType}. The normal creation throws a checked exception, making it impossible to
 * use them in a static initializer. They constructors are also not very suitable for static construction.
 *
 *
 * An Item instance describes an item in a Composite Type. It groups the triplet of name, description, and Open Type.
 * These Item instances allows the definitions of an item to stay together.
