/// Along with the value property is a set of meta data which further describes the Fact. This information is
/// exposed through QObject Properties such that you can bind to it from QML as well as use it within C++ code.
/// Since the meta data is common to all instances of the same Fact, it is acually stored once in a seperate object.
