Hi Tijmen,

Well, as you wrote metadata configuration file describes measurement 
data stored in the relational database of the Measurement Archive. SQL 
Measurement Archive uses this configuration file while retrieving data 
as well as while registering to Lookup Service.
See more info in this doc: 
http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/svn/perfsonar/tags/JAVA-SQL-MA-1.0/doc/ma/sqlTypeMA/Metadata_Configuration_File_Specification.doc

You can also follow the configuration guide to find out how to use this 
file:
