`duration` represents a duration of time. A duration value is specified by integers on at least one of the following fields: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond.
A duration value is in the format of `[-]PnYnMnDTnHnMn.mmmS`. The millisecond part (as the fraction of the second field) is optional, and when no millisecond field is used, the decimal point should also be absent.
Negative durations are also supported for the arithmetic operations between time instance types (`date`, `time` and `datetime`), and is used to roll the time back for the given duration. For example `date("2012-01-01") + duration("-P3D")` will return `date("2011-12-29")`.
-There are also two sub-duration types, namely `year-month-duration` and `day-time-duration`. `year-month-duration` represents only the years and months of a duration, while `day-time-duration` represents only the day to millisecond fields. Different from the `duration` type, both these two subtypes are totally ordered, so they can be used for comparison and index construction.

`uuid` represents a UUID value, which stands for Universally unique identifier. It is defined by a canonical format using hexadecimal text with inserted hyphen characters. (E.g.: 5a28ce1e-6a74-4201-9e8f-683256e5706f). This type is generally used to store auto-generated primary key values.
* Example:
- let $v1 := uuid("5c848e5c-6b6a-498f-8452-8847a2957421")
- return { "v1":$v1 }
+ return { "v1":uuid("5c848e5c-6b6a-498f-8452-8847a2957421") }

+`null` is a special value that is often used to represent an unknown value.
+For example, a user might not be able to know the value of a field and let it be `null`.
+
+ * Example:
+
+ { "field": null };
+
+
+ * The expected result is:
+
+ { "field": null }
+
+
+### <a id="IncompleteInformationTypesMissing">Missing</a> ###
+`missing` represents a missing name-value pair in a record.
+If the referenced field does not exist, an empty result value is returned by the query.
+
+As neither the data model nor the system enforces homogeneity for datasets or collections,
+items in a dataset or collection can be of heterogeneous types and
+so a field can be present in one record and `missing` in another.
+
+ * Example:
+
+ { "field": missing };
+
+
+ * The expected result is:
+
+ { }
+
+Since a field with value `missing` means the field is absent, we get an empty record.
