Metadata For Something - (advanced ⚠)
Metadata is Data which describes or adds information to other data.
When an Entity/Item is for something else (we call it the Owner) then we call this item as being Metadata For the Owner.
To be Metadata For something, an Entity must have Target information.
- Every Entity can be Metadata For something else
- An item can only be Metadata For one thing
Tip
When looking at Metadata from the Owner object, we call it Metadata Of the Owner.
When looking at it from the Metadata-items point of view, they are Metadata-For the Owner.
The MetadataFor Property
To find out if an object is Metadata for something, check the .MetadataFor property which contains the Target Information.
You can read about the Target APIs here.
