What are context data elements?

The Global JXDM is an object-oriented model that takes advantage of property inheritance to reuse components. This helps to keep the total number of elements smaller. However, this also means that some specific data element names do not exist in the dictionary because more generically named properties are inherited down to the more specific subtypes. For example, the Global JXDM does not contain an ArrestDate element. This is because an arrest date is represented by ActivityDate (a property of ActivityType) within an Arrest (of type ArrestType). ActivityDate is inherited by ArrestType (a subtype of ActivityType).
