Each definition establishes a schema that metafields must follow, including the data type and validation constraints. The definition controls access permissions across different APIs, determines whether the metafield can be used for filtering or as a collection condition, and can be constrained to specific resource subtypes. * [Metafield​Definition​Identifier.ownerType](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/MetafieldDefinitionIdentifier#field-MetafieldDefinitionIdentifier.fields.ownerType) OBJECT Identifies a metafield definition by its owner type, namespace, and key. * [Metafield​Definition​Identifier​Input.ownerType](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/MetafieldDefinitionIdentifierInput#fields-ownerType) INPUT OBJECT The input fields that identify metafield definitions. * [Metafield​Definition​Input.ownerType](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/MetafieldDefinitionInput#fields-ownerType) INPUT OBJECT The input fields required to create a metafield definition. * [Metafield​Definition​Update​Input.ownerType](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/MetafieldDefinitionUpdateInput#fields-ownerType) INPUT OBJECT The input fields required to update a metafield definition. * [Standard​Metafield​Definition​Template.ownerTypes](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StandardMetafieldDefinitionTemplate#field-StandardMetafieldDefinitionTemplate.fields.ownerTypes) OBJECT Standard metafield definition templates provide preset configurations to create metafield definitions.
