Defines the data elements used in entity sets, relationships, and structured documents.
A field is a data object representing one data element from a record in the associated data object (entity set, relationship, or structured document). The Fields entity set describes the attributes of the individual data elements that make up a record in the associated data object. The EntitySets, Relationships, and Documents entity sets describe the data objects themselves.
Since Fields are data elements belonging either to an entity set, a relationship or a structured document, refer to the procedures used to establish these objects.
