ACL
A device settings' access control based on the OMA DM Access Control List (ACL) is not supported. Instead, Windows Mobile 2003 role-base access control is used.
A DM server could remotely change this property.
Format (Datatype in Metabase)
The OMA DM Format property is called a datatype in the metabase. For more information, see Metabase Datatypes.
Type (semantic-type in Metabase
The OMA DM Type property is called Semantic Type in the metabase. This is the MIME type of the nodes value. For more information, see Metabase Semantic-Types.
Name

Title (label in Metabase)
The OMA DM Title property is called a Lable in the metabase. This is a human readable name. OMA DM does not support a localized label. When the server queries a label by using the OMA DM Title property, the label with the current UI language is returned.
