An enumeration is a set of values, which are called enumeration items. Enumerations can be used as properties in other entities to constrain the valid values of the property to items in the set of values. Each item must be distinct within a given enumeration.

Consider the following code snippet:

Enumeration Race
    documentation "The enumeration items defining racial categories."
    item "American Indian - Alaskan Native"
    item "Asian"
    item "Black - African American"
    item "Native Hawaiian - Pacific Islander"
    item "White"

In this situation, it has been determined that two additional enumeration items should be added to Race: "Choose not to respond" and "Other". After adding these items to the enumeration, the code should look like:

Enumeration Race
    documentation "The enumeration items defining racial categories."
    item "American Indian - Alaskan Native"
    item "Asian"
    item "Black - African American"
    item "Choose not to respond"
    item "Native Hawaiian - Pacific Islander"
    item "White"
    item "Other"
