This class is to represent the DAFUL object container that has a relation with other DAFUL object.

```csharp
public abstract class Container : LinkContainer, IObservableObject, IDisposableObject, ILinkable, IObject, IEventProvider, ILinkContainerEvent, IVerifiable, IContainer, ILinkContainer, IOwned, IHasID

```
