Abstract
Different views on an object that has metadata. For instance, one code segment might have one view of the object and be able to view some of the metadata of that object, while another code segment might have a different view of the object and have a view on a different set of the metadata of that object. This may be done even though the code segments reside in the same application. Thus, each code segment may have a view of the metadata on the object that is most useful for that code segment to use the object without getting confused by metadata that is less or not relevant to the manner in which the code segment is to use the object.
