- ComponentRegistryComponentVersionMetadata — Encapsulates all generic metadata about a component at a particular version.
  - `componentVersionReference` string — Reference to a component version. Components are organized into a group hierarchy which serves as a qualification mechanism to avoid collisions and also to group components semantically. Component versions follow the convention of semantic versioning. The fully qualified reference of a component version follows the following syntax: `[component_group]:[component]:[component_version]`.
  - `description` string
  - `multiLanguageDescription` object, nullable
  - `multiLanguageName` object, nullable
  - `name` string
  - `releaseNotes` string, nullable
  - `state` 'SNAPSHOT' | 'RELEASE_CANDIDATE' | 'RELEASED' | 'DEPRECATED' | 'ARCHIVED' — Possible states of a component version.
