    Read the ``OBJECT`` file in each directory, which provides some high-level
    metadata of the object represented by that directory. It is guaranteed to
    have a ‘type’ property that specifies the object type; individual objects
    may add their own information to this file. 

    Args:
        path: 
            Path to a directory containing the object.

    Returns:
        Dictionary containing the object metadata.
