public interface MetadataType extends Serializable, Cloneable
All sub-interfaces must have an initialize method and all implementations must have a null constructor.
Extending sub-interfaces of MetadataType is strongly discouraged. That is,
metadata interfaces (sub-interfaces of MetadataType) should be considered
to be "final". This simplifies the implementation of IMetadataProvider.getMetadata(Class)
, etc.
