Metadata format may support 2 formats of retrieving of metadata values: By key and by name. The by-name format is optional.
Keys are typically computer-friendly strings (like tag numbers or addresses) and metedata format may support values with non-predefined keys.
Names are typically human-friendly (not-localized) string (like names) and only predefined names are supported (if any). Each name must have its corresponding key. Names are only aliases to certain important keys.
