public interface Descriptor
A descriptor associates information with the enclosing element.
This information may be a component (such as a thumbnail of an image, or a text component), or a textual statement.
Notably, all elements using descriptors allow for multiple descriptors and thus allows for its nature to be
described using several different metadata formats in parallell, or just in multiple ways.
Descriptors are recusive elements, meaning that a descriptor might have its own descriptor. For example, a digital item represention a person might have n descriptors,
one of which is an image of the person. The image might then have its own descriptor, which states where and when it was taken.
