That is very unlikely!

  The fact that you see values in the catalog's "MetaData" means
  that the catalogued objects have methods with the name of
  the column that produced the value.

By the way:

   When you would include "CMFCollectorNG" in the "Subject",
   you would have a chance that the "CMFCollectorNG" author
   (Andreas Jung) would respond ;-)

That's not how the catalog (and its "MetaData") work...
