The Dictionary's Unique Identifier. This integer value serves as the dictionary's permanent address in the system. Once assigned, this ID never changes - It's how the system definitively identifies this particular collection of terms.

The Dictionary's Display Name. This string contains the human-readable name that identifies the dictionary to users. Unlike the ID, which is purely functional, the name is designed to be meaningful to people who are choosing which dictionary to work with.

Detailed Dictionary Information. This optional field can contain a longer explanation of what the dictionary covers, its intended audience, or special characteristics that set it apart from other dictionaries. The description might explain the scope of terms included, the expertise level assumed, or specific domains covered.

Dictionary Creation Timestamp. This date-time value tells you exactly when someone first created this dictionary in the system. Understanding creation dates helps you gauge how established a dictionary is and can be useful for administrative purposes, auditing, or simply satisfying curiosity about a dictionary's history. The timestamp includes both date and time information, giving you precise historical context.

Last Modification Timestamp. Perhaps one of the most practically useful pieces of metadata, this timestamp shows when someone last made changes to the dictionary. This could mean adding new terms, modifying existing definitions, updating the dictionary's name or description, or any other modification. For applications where content freshness matters, this timestamp helps you and your users understand how current the dictionary's information might be.
