Example: ArcheTypes, autogeneration of forms and pages

"The creation of a new Type using Archetypes involves a main text file 
(python) that defines the fields and other objects within your type, 
their properties, and their behavior. Archetypes uses this information 
to auto generate on demand all forms and pages needed to add, edit, and 
view your types data. When you have written this file, you then have a 
product that you would install just like any other CMF/Plone product."

-

Archetype is defined within a python file.

Does this include  metadata?

If yes: in a standard way (e.g. usable in other developments, too)?

Archetypes uses a generator.

Is this a standard generator (thus I don't have to learn/use another one 
in another context)?
