public class InstanceReferrer
extends ValueReference

This class is used to identify the relation between an attribute referring an instance. To be able to correctly identify this relation, a reference to the entity attribute is required (hence the inheritance of ValueReference) and the id of the instance that is being referred (the getReferredInstanceId method).
