What is CustomeObject?

A custom object is used to store and manage data that does not have content (and thus
doesn’t support versioning) or a lifecycle. For example, a customer might be represented in the object store
as a custom object because there is no requirement for content. Custom objects:
• Have system properties that the system manages automatically, such as Date Created.
• Can have custom properties for storing business-related metadata.
• Are secured.
• Can participate in business processes as workflow attachments.
• Can generate server events when they are created, modified, or deleted. These events are then used
to customize behavior.

  1. Pls can you give more example. Can we say Object store is collection of Custom objects and Custom object is a metadata or attributes information of actual content. Not very clear what is meaning of "custom object is used to store and manage data that does not have content". What is data and content?
