@sap/cds-common-content
ISO-standard content for CAP's common definitions — countries, languages, currencies and timezones — so a project does not seed those tables itself.

History in the atlas
- A CAP package was pointing at the ABAP data-modelling capability because it was the only one named Data modelling — the CAP one did not exist. Repointed when it did. The mis-edge is the clearest evidence the gap was real.
- Typed cds-plugin by placement, which defaults every candidate to that. It is not one.
- ISO-standard content for CAP's common definitions — countries, languages, currencies and timezones — so a project does not seed those tables itself.
- First seen.
