Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2012-09-07 14:14:44 EDT 
Apparently OSGi uses the term "ObjectClass" to describe the set of class names that a service has been registered under in the service registry [1]. Orion currently uses the same term in the context of Metatypes (see metatype.js) for a totally different concept.

To avoid conflicting, the Metatype concept should be renamed to "Object Class Definition" -- which is not a great name either IMO, but does match the OSGi terminology for the equivalent concept.
