Regarding the API, getStringProperty(), getDoubleProperty(), getBooleanProperty() and getIntProperty() would replace getProperty() in Identifiable interface. Furthermore, getOptionalStringProperty(), etc. could be implemented as well.

Regarding IIDM-XML serialization, a new required type field would be added in property element to specify which type a property is e.g.

<property name="isExample" type="boolean" value="true"/>
