Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to an aspect of an embodiment, a system of using an extensible language to represent storage metadata includes a computer-readable storage medium and a processing device. The computer-readable storage medium may have stored thereon storage metadata. The processing device may be configured to write the storage metadata to the computer-readable storage medium in an extensible language format. The processing device may also be configured to manipulate the storage metadata in the extensible language format. The processing device may also be configured to transfer the storage metadata in the extensible language format.
