/**
 * Base class for all factories in the referencing module.
 * Factories can be grouped in two categories:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li><p>{@linkplain AuthorityFactory Authority factories} creates objects from
 *       a compact string defined by an authority.
 *   <br><em>These classes are working as "builders": they hold the definition or recipie
 *       used to construct an objet.</em></p></li>
 *
 *   <li><p>{@linkplain ObjectFactory Object factories} allows applications
 *       to make objects that cannot be created by an authority factory.
 *       This factory is very flexible, whereas the authority factory is
 *       easier to use.
 *   <br><em>These classes are working as "Factories": they provide a series of
 *       {@code create} methods that can be used like a constructor.</em></p></li>
 * </ul>
