Class DATA_STRUCTURE

Abstract parent class of all data structure types. Includes the as_hierarchy function
which can generate the equivalent CEN EN13606 single hierarchy for each
subtype's physical representation. For example, the physical representation of an
ITEM_LIST is List<ELEMENT>; its implementation of as_hierarchy will generate a
CLUSTER containing the set of ELEMENT nodes from the list.
