property Tag (Composite Repository)

The property tag allows you to explicitly map a property in a composite repository to a property in a primary item descriptor or a contributing item descriptor. This usage handles the case where two or more contributing item descriptors have properties with the same name. It can have one or more <attribute> tags.
