Object.defineProperty('metadata');
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Dictionary | A dictionary of (String, String) that contains the generic metadata associated with this object. The default value is a dictionary with the items described in the remarks section. |
The object metadata can be used to store any generic values associated with an annotation object. By default, the AnnObject will create a dictionary with the following keys/values and set it in Metadata:
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| "Subject" | Empty string |
| "Author" | Empty string |
| "Modified" | Empty string |
| "Title" | Empty string |
| "Content" | Empty string |
| "Created" | Empty string |
The metadata are saved and loaded as is by AnnCodecs to/from annotation files or streams.
Currently, the metadata is not used by the LEADTOOLS annotation toolkit for any special purposes. It is a user-defined field.
