2.2.4.9 Future Metadata

Future metadata is non-MDX metadata.

Each metadata type (section 2.2.4.1) of future metadata, inside the metadata part (section 2.1.7.34) , has its own metadata store (section 2.2.4.4) that is uniquely identified by its name and that contains future metadata records.

Each future metadata can be indexed by either a cell metadata (section 2.2.4.2) or a metadata block (section 2.2.4.5) for value metadata (section 2.2.4.3).

A future metadata is specified by a BrtBeginFmd (section 2.4.86) record and ends with a BrtEndFmd (section 2.4.437) record within a metadata store (section 2.2.4.4).
