    T - The expected payload type before and after upcasting
    
    Parameters:
    
    outputType - The output type of the event after upcasting

  - getType
```
SerializedType getType()

    Returns:
    
    the type and version of the represented data
  - getData
```
SerializedObject<?> getData()
```

    the identifier of the message wrapping the object to upcast
  - getAggregateType
```
Optional<String> getAggregateType()
```
    Returns the Type of the Aggregate to which the Event owning the object to upcast, was applied. This will return an empty Optional if the object being upcast was not contained in a DomainEventMessage.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Type of the Aggregate to which the Event was applied, or an empty Optional if not applicable
  - getAggregateIdentifier
```
Optional<String> getAggregateIdentifier()
```

    Returns:
    
    the Identifier of the Aggregate to which the Event was applied, or an empty Optional if not applicable
  - getSequenceNumber
```
Optional<Long> getSequenceNumber()
```
    Returns the sequence number of the event in the aggregate, or an empty Optional if the message wrapping the object being upcast does not contain a sequence number.
    
    Returns:
    
    the sequence number of the event in the aggregate, or an empty Optional if not applicable
  - getTrackingToken
```
Optional<TrackingToken> getTrackingToken()
```
    Returns the tracking token of the event, or an empty Optional if the message wrapping the object being upcast does not contain a tracking token.

    the timestamp at which the event was first created, if available
  - getMetaData
```
LazyDeserializingObject<MetaData> getMetaData()
```
    Returns the meta data of the message wrapping the object being upcast. If the meta data is not available, or is in fact the subject of being upcast itself, this method returns null.
    
    Returns:
    
    the MetaData of the message wrapping the object to upcast, if available
  - canConvertDataTo
```
boolean canConvertDataTo(Class<?> requiredType)
```
    Checks if the data can be converted to the given requiredType.
    
    Parameters:
    
    requiredType - the type to validate if the contained data can be converted to.
    
    Returns:
    
    true, if the intermediate representation's data can be converted to desired type, false otherwise
