Data Format

Data Format objects are children of Data Type objects, and represent a distinct format for the Data Type. For example, a date could appear on one document as 05/17/2013, and as May 17, 2013 on another document. Each of these formats is defined by a Data Format object which is a child of the 'Date' Data Type object.
