the Malete metadata record


*       overview

Every database may have a metadata record assigned.
The system may also have a default metadata record containing defaults.

The core defines metadata fields 001-009,
to be used in the same way by all applications and environments.
-       001 name and options
        as used by the core on the
>       CmdLine command line
-       002 unused
        (see
>       TagUse
        )
-       003 content-type
        contains a MIME charset and other information mostly for the client 
        for proper interpretation of the data
-       004 collation
        definition or reference used by the core as detailled in
>       CharSet charsets and collation
-       005 version
        last modified time of this metadata
-       006 field definition
        as of
>       RecStruct
-       007 unused (index definition?)
-       008 unused (references?)
-       009 unused (stopwords? any?)


We may use an CDS/ISIS compatibility block, e.g. 01x,
to store the original contents of

like the .FST or ISISAC.TAB from
imported CDS databases for use by some compatibility application.
