Definition
In UML, a Data Type is a Classifier whose Instances are identified by value rather than Identity. Instances of a Data Type are indistinguishable when they have the same value.
SimpleModeling
SimpleModeling treats a Data Type as a Type expressing the meaning and valid range of values in a Domain Model. During realization, it distinguishes a Schema Data Type declaration from a Scala standard type or a SimpleModeling-specific Runtime Data Type.
Boundary
Data Type is not synonymous with Type in general. Nor does the Scala implementation form, such as class or case class, by itself determine whether a concept is a Data Type or an Entity Object.
