Super type for Data Transfer Objects.

A Data Transfer Object (DTO) is easily serializable having only public fields of primitive types and their wrapper classes, Strings, enums, Version, and DTOs. List, Set, Map, and array aggregates may also be used. The aggregates must only hold objects of the listed types or aggregates.

The object graph from a Data Transfer Object must be a tree to simplify serialization and deserialization.
