In fact, the [[MSD>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Metadata structure definition.WebHome]] is restricted to play the role of a single container, without targeting any specific [[Artefact>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Artefact.WebHome]]. The possible targets of [[Metadata Set>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Metadata set.WebHome]] are specified in the [[Metadataflows>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Metadataflow.WebHome]] or Metadata [[Provision Agreements>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Provision agreement.WebHome]] relating to that [[MSD>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Metadata structure definition.WebHome]]. To achieve that, the structure of the [[Metadataflow>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Metadataflow.WebHome]] has changed in this (% style="color:#2ecc71" %)version(%%) of the standard. Moreover, the Metadata [[Provision Agreement>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Provision agreement.WebHome]] [[Artefact>>doc:xwiki:Glossary.Artefact.WebHome]] is introduced to include this feature.
