-The metadata used to specify what hardware a piece of software requires, what ages of user it is suitable
for, and factors which contribute to how safe it might be to install, all come from the metainfo file for
that application.

+The metadata used to specify what hardware a piece of software requires, what ages of user it is suitable
for, and factors which contribute to how safe it might be to install, all come from the metainfo file for
that software.
The metainfo file format is specified in the [AppStream
specification](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/).
What happens if metadata is missing
----
+===
If some metadata is missing for an application, GNOME Software can only guess what it might be, and hence
can’t present much information in its interfaces. The guesses GNOME Software makes are based on the fact that
most software is designed for desktop computers.
