At the MetaData stage, the robot encounters a URL for a resource, but it has not downloaded the resource’s content, thus information is available about the URL as well as data that is derived from other sources such as the filter.conf file. At this stage, however, information is not available about the content of the resource.
The table below lists the sources available in the RAFs at the MetaData phase and their description.
