What is vpdKeyword?

This object holds a standardized 2-character VPD keyword code identifying what kind of vital product data the paired vpdData field contains, such as 'SN' for serial number, 'PN' for part number, or 'MF' for manufacturer. Administrators use this keyword to interpret the accompanying data value correctly, since the same table holds many different kinds of hardware attributes distinguished only by this code. For example, a row where this object reads 'SN' tells an admin that vpdData in that same row holds the component's serial number rather than, say, its part number.
