 * The interface defines an accessor method that gets a parameter name as input

 * \brief This abstract class represents an interface to configuration parameters.

 * Property names are defined here. This is an abstract class for interfaces.
 * Since all its methods are virtual,
 * this class cannot be instantiated directly, and a subclass can only be
 * instantiated directly if all inherited pure virtual methods have been
 * implemented by that class or a parent class.
