Interfaceosid.Property
Description

A Property is a representation of data in string form. Properties are exposed in OSID objects as a means of providing a quick gestalt of data elements whose specifics are described through a type specification. A view of an OSID object via Properties allows applications to browse the content without understanding the type specification in place, but any acquisition of specific data, access to an object or other primitive type, or changing the data requires the typed interfaces.
