## Package com.ibm.openpages.api.metadata Description

This package and its components provides access to OpenPages metadata.

The main components of OpenPages metadata are:

- `ITypeDefinition`: A TypeDefinition serves as the first level component for any OpenPages resource object template.
- `IFieldDefinition`: A FieldDefinition defines the field on the TypeDefinition.
- `IAssociationDefinition`: An AssociationDefinition provides the interface that defines the relationship between TypeDefinitions.

All these components work together as a template for all OpenPages resource objects. `IMetaDataService` provides the interface for managing these metadata components of the OpenPages System.
