The will provide a base library of metadata definitions for various common software products, components, and libraries that may exist on particular image (or volume or instance). These metadata definitions will make it easier for end users and admins to easily describe the software and its properties. This information will enable an improved and faster user experience for applying software metadata, searching based on software metadata, and viewing the software information about an image. Various improvements in horizon are underway to take advantage of this metadata. For example, a user launching an instance will be able to expand the image row to see additional information about the image. This will include providing the metadata definition for properties on the image. This same information will also be visible from the image and instance details page.
