# What?
- A taxonomy system.
- A way to differentiate between data (values) and metadata(field description). => Separation of concern.

---
# Why?
---
## Huh? :thinking_face:
---
## Nope! :no_entry_sign:
---
## Yes! :heavy_check_mark:
---
It gives partners (and customers) the option to **define** their data structure themselves.
---
# Why? #2
---
Keeping data and metadata separate allows us to treat different kinds of things (we call them entities) in the same way.
---
# How?
---
Almost entirely (:wink:) generic model.
---
A slightly more specific definition model.
---
An even more specific definition model.
