Custom metadata
Custom metadata is defined using Metadata Schemas on the Content Manager. This information is highly customizable and can be used in a wide variety of ways.
The Content Broker makes it possible to define queries on custom Component metadata or custom Page metadata.
The following is an example of Custom Metadata for Components, published to the file system:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
