2.6.6.4.1. DATABLOCK

| top | pdf |

The DATABLOCK category holds the essential identifying information for a data block: the name of the data block, _datablock.id; and a description of the block, _datablock.description. The _datablock.id is the parent identifier for both _category.implicit_key and _dictionary.datablock_id. The former guarantees that the identifier for the data block, and hence the dictionary, is added implicitly to the key of each category.
