public interface ERUniqueKey
extends IMUniqueKey, ELShortNameAble

An ERUniqueKey is a collection of attributes of its ERAttributeSet. The values of this collection are unique for one instance of the attributes set. If these values cannot change within the lifetime of the instance, the unique key is called a key candidate. One key candidate can be choosen as primary key for identifying the instance by default.
