Name | Data Type | Value
CategoryContents | string |
Description | string | The specific value for the category. For example, 'HP Laserjet' would be a value for a category containing printer names.
CategoryType | string |
Description | string | The type of category. Used to give additional semantics to the category. For example, a Category of Type 'Printers' would qualify the list of category values for a list of printers. Note: the relationship of Category Type to Category Value expresses no intrinsic hierarchy. If a tree of relationships exists to define categories and sub-categories, this should be defined using CategoryParentChild associations.
