// to make all Id properties on the data model items internal so that once an item
// is assigned an Id, that cannot change in its entire life.
// Assumption: Earlier validations ensure that all the items are present within this
// model and are not shared between data models. For example, there is no possibility
// that an association present in this data model has one of its navigation properties
// in this model but the other navigation property in some other model. Likewise, it
// should not be possible for two data models to reach the same resource type while
// enumerating the hosted types. An example source code is shown below. Here, it may
// be possible to reach 'Resource' resource type from module2 but its Parent property
// points to module1.
//var module1 = new ZentityContext().Core.Modules[0];
//var module2 = new ZentityContext().Core.Modules[0];
//module1.ResourceTypes.Add(module2.ResourceTypes["Resource"]);
