Reference Data Defines Meta Data for items in the Repository

Reference data is used universally in Enterprise Architect as meta-information for properties and base values for repository items including elements, features and connectors and tool features. It is often seen in drop-down lists and selection boxes, and includes such items as Status Codes, Requirement Types, Model Authors and more.
