Abstract
This paper is a contribution to the debate about the nature of metadata. We argue that metadata is not 'just data' because its effective use requires functionality which is not
usually present in an RDBMS. We present a simple data structure for storing statistical metadata and discuss the functionality needed for statistical uses. However, because
metadata IS data we can use standard RDBMS facilities as well, to increase the usefulness of the metadata beyond the basic requirements.
