Name atom ('name')

Overview

The Name atom is a full atom with an atom type of ‘name’. This atom contains a metadata name formatted as a string of UTF-8 characters, to fill the atom. It is optional. If it is not present, the item is unnamed, and cannot be referred to by name. Names are not user visible; they provide a way to refer to metadata items. The maximum length of a name may be limited in specific environments.

No two metadata items may have the same name.
