<div>Thanks for that reference. I intend to use that method of
walking up the tree since it's clear and allows me to
explicitly check the data I care about,
EntitiesDescriptor.getName(), and nothing more.<br>

That should work ok. Just be aware that: The metadata resolvers in
v3 are by design EntityDescriptor-oriented. We don't *currently* do
anything in the batch metadata resolvers to tear down the original
hierarchical structure. So getParent() should still return the
original document's EntitiesDescriptor, etc. And we don't have any
plans right now to muck with that. But it's possible we might in
the future.<br>
<br>
And of course there won't be any parent on individual
EntityDescriptors resolved using MDQ or other dynamic approaches.
That's actually an example of where we might come up with
alternative ways to define entity groups, and those might then get
represented in the same consistent on EntityDescriptor object
metadata.<br>
