    <p>What is the intended usage of the metadata elements inside the prodinfo element in the DITA metadata?</p> <p>Each prodinfo (can be multiple) has only one prodname, and then inside you can have component, brand, series, etc.</p> <p>The prodinfo itself seems to be intended to indicate its applicability to a specific product, and you can have more than one to indicate that its applicable to multiple products.</p> <p>But then inside the prodinfo you have component, brand, series, etc, which to me seems like generic metadata - i.e. metadata that says the topic is applicable to a broader spectrum of topics. But it doesn't make sense if it's inside the specific prodinfo element. For instance, if I interpret component to indicate that the topic concerns a particular component of a product, say the engine, then that might be used to find topics that could be reused for several different products, all describing the engine component similarly.</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code> &lt;metadata&gt; &lt;prodinfo&gt; &lt;prodname&gt;SuperMachine&lt;/prodname&gt; &lt;vrmlist&gt; &lt;vrm version="1.0"/&gt; &lt;/vrmlist&gt; &lt;component&gt;power pack&lt;/component&gt; &lt;component&gt;engine&lt;/component&gt; &lt;brand&gt;ACME&lt;/brand&gt; &lt;series&gt;Z32&lt;/series&gt; &lt;/prodinfo&gt; &lt;/metadata&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would think that the component metadata should be non-attached to a specific product in this case. So how are these parts intended to be used in the DITA metadata?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
