public interface BaseMetadata
A proxy capable of bidirectional communication of biological image data to
and from a particular storage medium.
The BaseMetadata interface is implemented by
metadata storage implementations that handles both storage (see
MetadataStore) and retrieval (see MetadataRetrieve)
of metadata fields. It exists mainly to store
MetadataStore and MetadataRetrieve object
types within the same container.
