AppStream is a cross-distribution effort for creating and sharing metadata of software components available in the package repositories of a distribution. It provides specifications for an unified software component metadata format, screenshot and icon services and various other metadata to describe software in repositories. The metadata can be used to show details about the actual software in software management tools instead of just listing packages, making software management intuitive and easy.
