Parameters

Use Name Cardinality Type Binding Documentation
OUT return 1..1 Meta

The meta returned by the operation The meta returned by the operation

At the system and type levels, the $meta operation is used to get a summary of all the labels that are in use across the system. The principle use for this operation is to support search e.g. what tags can be searched for. At these levels, the meta will not contain versionId, lastUpdated etc. Systems are not obligated to implement the operation at this level (and should return a 4xx error if they don't). At the resource and historical entry level, the $meta operation returns the same meta as would be returned by accessing the resource directly. This can be used to allow a system to get access to the meta-information for the resource without accessing the resource itself, e.g. for security reasons At the system and type levels, the $meta operation is used to get a summary of all the labels that are in use across the system.
