> Storage- or others like Benchmark etc.) are objects that can be published.

> 2) Boolean type changed to DirectoryString This means that if the boolean
> values that are mandatory in the schema are not defined, the information
> providers MUST publish them and MUST present the value "undefinedvalue";
> GFD.147 Appendix B.17.
> These are:
> ExecutionEnvironment.ConnectivityIn
> ExecutionEnvironment.ConnectivityOut
