Enterprise Architect: What is the class "DataType" for?

I found this on the web:

enter image description here

I don't understand what "DataType" is used for?

I mean, that the whole attributes from this class can be added to AD_Street class as the attribute like name, type and geometry.

When should one use this class?

What is the difference between "FeatureType" and "DataType"?

Thanks in advance.

from Enterprise Architect UML Dictionary book:

"A Data Type is a specific kind of classifier, similar to a Class except that a Data Type cannot own sub Data Types, and instances of a Data Type are identified only by their value. For example, an instance of a Person Class is a Helen object, but an instance of an Integer Data Type is 12."

I hope this help something!
