# Metadata and Integration

These objects fall into two categories: (1) objects that serve as lookup tables populated with enhanced reference data like NDC or ICD-10CM codes; (2) objects used to master patient and provider lists. While the refinement of data in the model generally follows a linear progression, these objects are used at various stages of that progression. Metadata and integration objects are generally created using the Ursa reference or integrator object types.
