Abstract
An important aspect of many web applications, especially content management systems (CMS), is the storage of primary data. However the extra or secondary data associated with objects, generally called metadata, also plays an important role. Common examples of metadata include:
-
information about the creator, author, or editor of a document,
-
time and date of the creation or last modification of an object,
-
state of a document in an organizational workflow.
Zope handles metadata very well and supports important standards out-of- the-box. We will see how to use them in this chapter.
