<p>This is a <a href="#metadata-structure">metadata structure</a> that contains metadata about the <a>DID Resolution</a> process.</p>
<p>This metadata typically does not change between invocations of the <a>DID Resolution</a> function unless the <a>DID document</a> changes, as it represents data about the <a>DID document</a>.</p>
<p>The sources of this metadata are the <a>DID controller</a> and/or the <a>DID method</a>.</p>
<p>The sources of this metadata are the <a>DID controller</a> and/or the <a>DID method</a>.
DID document metadata attested to by the DID controller comes with no inherent guarantee of accuracy.
Clients are advised to proceed with caution when relying on DID document metadata to inform business logic.
</p>
<p>Examples of DID document metadata include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Timestamps when the <a>DID</a> and its associated <a>DID document</a> were created or updated (e.g., `created`, `updated`, `nextUpdate`).</li>
