The OSGi Metatype Bundle is an implementation of the OSGi Service Platform Service Compendium, Release 5. It handles metatypes and adds useful characteristics of metadata, defined in the Extended Metatype API which extends the OSGi Service Platform Specification, Release 4.3.

The bundle does not only implement the OSGi Metatype Service but also provides the Extended Metatype API, built on top of the OSGi Metatype API. It is responsible for:

• Enabling bundles to export metatypes in the form of services or XML resources.
• Providing metadata to interested local or remote parties through the OSGi Metatype Service.
