  • Storing Metadata in a Table-based Format from Metadata in a Serial Format
    Publication number: 20150046390
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method receives a document including metadata in a serial format and parses the document to determine components in the metadata, a nested structure of the components, and an order of the components in the data. The metadata is stored in a table format where columns of the table define the nested structure of the components and the order of the components in the data. A query is received for the data. The method determines components from the metadata stored in the table format from the columns that satisfy the query where the components are determined based on the nested structure of the determined components and the order of the determined components from information in the columns of the table. A result for the query is output including the determined components based on the nested structure of the determined components and the order of the determined components.
