      @TitleProperty(name="specificUsage")
      public class DefaultUsage
      extends ISOMetadata
      implements Usage

  Brief description of ways in which the resource(s) is/are currently or has been used. The following properties are mandatory or conditional (i.e. mandatory under some circumstances) in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:
  `MD_Usage` `├─specificUsage…………` Brief description of the resource and/or resource series usage. `└─userContactInfo……` Identification of and means of communicating with person(s) and organisation(s). `├─party……………………` Information about the parties. `│ └─name……………` Name of the party. `└─role………………………` Function performed by the responsible party.

  Limitations:

  - Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
  - Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases. Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use `XML` instead.

    - #### DefaultUsage

          public DefaultUsage()

      Constructs an initially empty usage.

    - #### DefaultUsage

          public DefaultUsage(CharSequence specificUsage,
                              ResponsibleParty userContactInfo)

      Creates an usage initialized to the specified values.
      Parameters:
        `specificUsage` - brief description of the resource and/or resource series usage, or `null` if none.
        `userContactInfo` - means of communicating with person(s) and organization(s), or `null` if none.

    - #### DefaultUsage

          public DefaultUsage(Usage object)

      Constructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, since the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
      Parameters:
        `object` - the metadata to copy values from, or `null` if none.
      See Also:
        `castOrCopy(Usage)`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### castOrCopy

          public static DefaultUsage castOrCopy(Usage object)

      Returns a SIS metadata implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:
      - If the given object is `null`, then this method returns `null`.
      - Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of `DefaultUsage`, then it is returned unchanged.
      - Otherwise a new `DefaultUsage` instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, since the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
      Parameters:
        `object` - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or `null` if none.
      Returns:
        a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or `null` if the argument was null.
