| Data model element defines an semantic entity that will be detected in the user input. A model element |

| Such object can be abstract or have a physical existence. |

| <div class="block">Gets unique ID of this element. |
| <p> |
| This unique ID should be human readable for simpler debugging and testing of the model. |
| Although element ID could be any arbitrary string it is highly recommended to have |
| element ID as a lower case string starting with some model prefix, followed by colon and |
| then the element's name. For example, some built-in NLPCraft IDs are: <code>nlpcraft:date</code>, |
| <code>nlpcraft:city</code>. |
| <p> |
| Few important notes: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Element IDs starting with <code>nlpcraft:</code> are reserved for built-in NLPCraft IDs.</li> |
| <li> |
| Element ID is an implicit synonym for that element. |
| Thus element ID can be used in the user input directly to clearly |
| disambiguate the element in the input sentence instead of relying on synonyms or other |
| ways of detection. |

| <div class="block">Gets optional map of <a href="../../../../org/apache/nlpcraft/model/NCValue.html" title="interface in org.apache.nlpcraft.model"><code>values</code></a> for this element. |
| <p> |
| Each element can generally be recognized either by one of its synonyms or values. Elements and their values |
| are analogous to types and instances of that type in programming languages. Each value |
| has a name and optional set of its own synonyms by which that value, and ultimately its element, can be |
| recognized by. Note that value name itself acts as an implicit synonym even when no additional synonyms added |
| for that value. |
| <p> |
| Consider this example. A model element <code>x:car</code> can have: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Set of general synonyms: |
| <code>{transportation|transport|*} {vehicle|car|sedan|auto|automobile|suv|crossover|coupe|truck}</code> |
| </li> |
| <li>Set of values: |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>mercedes</code> with synonyms <code>(mercedes, mercedes-benz, mb, benz)</code></li> |
| <li><code>bmw</code> with synonyms <code>(bmw, bimmer)</code></li> |
| <li><code>chevrolet</code> with synonyms <code>(chevy, chevrolet)</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| With that setup <code>x:car</code> element will be recognized by any of the following input sub-string: |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>transport car</code></li> |
| <li><code>benz</code></li> |
| <li><code>automobile</code></li> |
| <li><code>transport vehicle</code></li> |
| <li><code>sedan</code></li> |
| <li><code>chevy</code></li> |
| <li><code>bimmer</code></li> |
| <li><code>x:car</code></li> |
| </ul> |
