XML root elements and related base PolicyCenter data object types

The base PolicyCenter configuration recognizes a set of XML root elements. These elements match by name a set of base data object types. All PolicyCenter objects exist as instances of one of the base data object types or as instances of a subtype of a base object type. The following table lists the XML root elements for the base PolicyCenter data object types:

Data object type	Extension	Folder	More information
`<delegate>`	.eti	`metadata, extensions`	<delegate> elements and related data object types
`<entity>`	.eti	`metadata, extensions`	<entity> elements and related data object types
`<extension>`	.etx	`extensions`	<extension> elements and related data object types
`<nonPersistentEntity>`	.eti	`metadata, extensions`	<nonPersistentEntity> elements and related data object types
`<subtype>`	.eti	`metadata, extensions`	<subtype> elements and related data object types
`<viewEntity>`	.eti	`metadata`	<viewEntity> elements and related data object types
`<viewEntityExtension>`	.etx	`extensions`	<viewEntityExtension> elements and related data object types
