    Description

      Several data elements in the class models have "INT/REAL" for the data type. Please clarify how systems should implement these data elements. Can systems capture these elements as either an Integer or a Real Number? If so, what is the impact of that when exchanging data? Is there a reason not to just use Real Numbers (which presumably could be non-decimal (e.g. 1.0 hours)).
