We need an attribute value type that indicates that the value is a reference to something (for example, a reference to an IEntity). The syntax probably need at least the following info:

resourceIdentifier:  This comprises the reference to the resource being pointed at.  Not sure exactly what the format needs to be.

resourceType: It might be useful to know the *type* of the thing being pointed at.  For example, is it a simple (literal) value sitting on some other entity, or is it a "mailingAddress" type entity?  This may not be needed because when the reference is dereferenced, the derefrencing code should be able to perform a <dereferencedThing>.getModel().getType().  Not sure at this point whether that will be sufficient.
