MetaDataFramework (DLESE Tools API Documentation v1.6.0)

java.lang.Object
- org.dlese.dpc.schemedit.MetaDataFramework

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class MetaDataFramework
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
```
Encapsulates information about a metadata framework in support of creating, displaying, editing and managing metadata records.

MetaDataFramework instances are configured from a framework configuration file, and registered in a FrameworkRegistry.
Major components include:
- a SchemaHelper instance
- a FieldInfoMap for information such as best practices and definitions
- a SchemaPathMap
- a FrameworkConfigReader that provides information from the framework configuration file
