+# Datalad Metadata Model
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This repository contains the metadata model that datalad and datalad-metalad (will) use
|
|
|
+for their metadata.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The model is separated into individual components that can be independently loaded
|
|
|
+and saved in order to have a focus-based view on the potentially very large metadata
|
|
|
+model instance.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The model defines a Mapper-interface that is used to persist its instances to storage
|
|
|
+devices. This allows a multitude of backends that can also be used together, e.g.
|
|
|
+copy from one backend to another.
