CdmObject Reference

This is the base interface for all Common Data Model object references. It's extended by CdmObjectReferenceBase (in C#, Java, and TypeScript), CdmAttributeContextReference, CdmAttributeGroupReference, CdmAttributeReference, CdmDataTypeReference, CdmEntityReference, and CdmPurposeReference.

public interface CdmObjectReference extends CdmObject

This interface is substituted with a regular class in Python.
