7.1.4 Meta Data

Meta-Data holds information about the contents of data and about their relation with other data. E.g., the fact that a given file on the file system has been generated by a certain simulation tool on behalf of a certain process step in a process flow is called meta-information; all meta-data are stored in a data-base implemented as a class of VLISP objects.
