Media; Vapptemplate - VMware VCLOUD API 1.0 - API Programming Manual

Property
Each CatalogItem can have up to ten Property elements, each of which expresses a key=value relationship.
The key is an attribute value, and the value is the content of the Property element itself. This element can be
used to hold arbitrary metadata attached to a CatalogItem. The vCloud API itself makes no use of this
information.
