/**
 * \ingroup core
 * \class QgsProjectMetadata
 * \brief A structured metadata store for a map layer.
 *
 * QgsProjectMetadata handles storage and management of the metadata
 * for a QgsProject. This class is an internal QGIS format with a common
 * metadata structure, which allows for code to access the metadata properties for
 * projects in a uniform way.
 *
 * The metadata store is designed to be compatible with the Dublin Core metadata
 * specifications, and will be expanded to allow compatibility with ISO specifications
 * in future releases. However, the QGIS internal schema does not represent a superset
 * of all existing metadata schemas and accordingly conversion from specific
 * metadata formats to QgsProjectMetadata may result in a loss of information.
 *
 * This class is designed to follow the specifications detailed in
 * the schema definition available at resources/qgis-project-metadata.xsd
 * within the QGIS source code.
 *
 * Metadata can be validated through the use of QgsLayerMetadataValidator
 * subclasses. E.g. validating against the native QGIS metadata schema can be performed
 * using QgsNativeProjectMetadataValidator.
 *
 * \since QGIS 3.2
