are we allowed to use multiple types for metadata? #41

Hey,

I see that on the content rec guide page it says that we're only supposed to use 1 as the type_id.

Reading later in the docs, I was confused on the REST api page, it talks about adding music items and video game items.

Which is correct?

Edit: These pages have a few contradictions that are confusing me. The other one is user data. The REST api page talks about demographics and other attributes, while the guide page says only id and username are possible.

Hi,

Yes you are right about the contradictions for item type. You can use multiple types. We will update the docs. For user attributes there are no current algorithms that use them and the seldon-cli doesn't presently allow you to create them. The internal DB and REST API has full capacity to handle them in the same way as item meta-data. So at present you would need to setup user meta-data by hand and use the REST API to specify it for each user.
