Meta Data Object

Meta Data Objects allow you to virtually associate name-value (key-value) meta data with any other Object in your application data store. This is done by specifying a context and UUID along with the meta data, but which is not enforced or constrained against any other existing Object, so in sense the context and UUID are arbitrary to your own application.

Collection: GlobalMetaData
