2.2.4.6 Metadata Block Stores

  • Article

Metadata blocks (section 2.2.4.5) are stored within collections called metadata block stores inside the metadata part (section 2.1.7.34). There can be two of these metadata block collections: one for cell metadata (section 2.2.4.2) and another for value metadata (section 2.2.4.3).

The collection of records that specifies the metadata for a metadata block store starts with a BrtBeginEsmdb (section 2.4.74) record and ends with a BrtEndEsmdb (section 2.4.425) record. Within each collection is a set of BrtMdb (section 2.4.703) records that each specifies a metadata block.
