3. Metadata Model ARCHITECTURE

3.1 Metadata Architecture

The Metadata Layer acts as the air-traffic controller for the RelayStream stack. Rather than relying solely on static database rows, RelayStream continuously aggregates:

  1. Public Catalog Metadata: TMDB overviews, backdrops, posters, ratings, and FlixPatrol platform trend metrics.
  2. On-Chain State Records: Solana Metaplex Core traits, ownership keys, and token extensions.
  3. In-Flight Data Availability Maps: Real-time 0G Protocol Merkle roots tracking video segment movement across edge nodes.
3.2 AI-Native Schema Representation

Every API endpoint outputs machine-readable JSON structured for autonomous AI agents. AI agents can query media availability, analyze global streaming heatmaps, and automatically negotiate storage contract renewals or fallback routes.
