Metadata Manager can include metadata objects in logical groups in the metadata catalog when it extracts metadata. You can specify a group when you create a class for a metadata object. When you view the metadata for the class in the metadata catalog, Metadata Manager groups objects from the same class type and with the same parent object in a logical group.

Objects of different classes can also belong to the same group. Metadata Manager does not store groups as metadata in the Metadata Manager repository. This means, in reporting on Metadata Manager, that you do not find an object that represents a group.
