partMeta 

A set of properties describing a specific part of the content of the Item. ///
The relationship of properties inside this partMeta and properties at a higher hierarchical level of the content parts structure is:
- the semantic assertion of all properties at a higher level is inherited by this partMeta element as if these properities would be its children
- a child property of a specific name wipes out for this partMeta element any semantic assertions of properties of the same name at higher levels 
- in this latter case: if the semantic assertion of a property at a higher level should be reinstated for this part of the content then this property has to appear again as child of this partMeta

Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
contentrefs xs:IDREFS optional 
A list of identifiers of XML elements containing content which is described by this partMeta structure.
creator QCodeType optional 
If the attribute is empty, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) will edit the property - expressed by a QCode. If the attribute is non-empty, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) has edited the property.
creatoruri IRIType optional 
If the attribute is empty, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) will edit the property - expressed by a URI. If the attribute is non-empty, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) has edited the property.
custom xs:boolean optional 
If set to true the corresponding property was added to the G2 Item for a specific customer or group of customers only. The default value of this property is false which applies when this attribute is not used with the property.
dir restriction of xs:NMTOKEN optional 
The directionality of textual content (enumeration: ltr, rtl)
how QCodeType optional 
Indicates by which means the value was extracted from the content - expressed by a QCode
howuri IRIType optional 
Indicates by which means the value was extracted from the content - expressed by a URI
modified DateOptTimeType optional 
The date (and, optionally, the time) when the property was last modified. The initial value is the date (and, optionally, the time) of creation of the property.
partid xs:ID optional 
The identifier of the part
seq xs:nonNegativeInteger optional 
The sequence number of the part
why QCodeType optional 
Why the metadata has been included - expressed by a QCode
whyuri IRIType optional 
Why the metadata has been included - expressed by a URI
xml:lang union of(xs:language, restriction of xs:string) optional 
Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter
         codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never
         going to be a realistic possibility.  See
         RFC 3066 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt and the IANA registry
         at http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tag-apps.htm for
         further information.

         The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with
         the empty string.
Wildcard: ANY attribute from ANY namespace OTHER than 'http://iptc.org/std/nar/2006-10-01/'
