Name is from AssetConnectorType and is mandatory in ClampType.

The optional Kind is a MultiStateValueDiscreteType that describes the type of clamp, e.g., screw connector, thumb connector, etc. The MultiStateValueDiscreteType has two properties: EnumValues and ValueAsText. An enumeration is defined (see 10.8) that provides a default list of Kind EnumValues. The configured list of EnumValues for a Clamp can use the default list, can extend the default list, or can create its own list of EnumValues. A companion specification may define a different or extended list of Kind EnumValues.
