various objects, various (but not always different) properties are needed.<br/>

data access objects.</p>
<p>Every component providing or requiring a <type>DataAccessDescriptor</type> for some functionality
is urged to specify which properties are mandatory, and which ones optional. Additionally,
it's free to specify any additional requirements about the relations of properties.</p>
