Content Type Info

The Content Type Info schema describes support for a specific type of data in an Content Library ItemModel. The Content Type Info can be queried through the Content Type resource. Type support describes plugins in the Content Library which can provide metadata on library items and help manage the transfer process by adding dependent files when a current file is added.
