Metadata and Extended Attributes

System

Hi,

Whats the difference between Extended atrtibutes and Metadata?
I want to set some of the metadata fields as part of HTML creation (from a .tpl)
When I use "iwextattr" to set extended attributes, the values that get set are separate from the metadata.
Is there any way to set the metadata from a .tpl?

Another query:

When I use DataDeploy to deploy only the metadata (and not the DCR) to a database (NOT using a DAS), can I configure it to write the extended attributes to the database?

Thanks
