Site columns are similar to content types in that they are centrally manged and can be added to sites and lists. They differ in that the information in a site column is focused to a single definition of data while content types enscapulate multiple site columns and definitions of data.
Example: A site column named Department is created as a single line of text for users to enter their department name and a content type is created named Projects which includes the site columns of Department, Project Name and Project Due Date.
Site columns can contain multiple types of information, ranging from a Single line of text to Managed Metadata. It is important to note the difference between metadata and managed metadata. Site columns are referred to as metadata since they represent an attribute a user wants to manage. Example: The site column of Department is an attribute that can be reused in multiple lists.

How to display Document Library files list in Gridview using linq to sharepoint?
Linq to Sharepoint
1. Create the Enity Classes
This will create entity.cs file which will have all doc library objects and its methods.
Drawback:
This will consider only created libraries before running this command, further changes will not be considers. The changes to your SharePoint site would require you to regenerate the entity.cs file.
The LINQ to SharePoint query provider has some limitations, due to its use of CAML queries under the covers.
For example, with CAML, you cannot query more than one list at a time, so you can’t use a group join. LINQ to SharePoint does not support multi-fetch queries that query across multiple lists, or join clauses on fields other than Lookup fields.
You cannot define queries across multiple websites or that query different DataContext instances. You cannot use mathematical functions, because CAML does not support them.
we can use the code using Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq.DataContext except entity class.
2. Use the DataContext
3. Create Visual Webpart and add Gridview in the webpart design.
4. Write code using linq using EntityDataContext class
5. Create a new subsite and add webpart, you will see all the library list on the site.
