5. Bento is a Japanese term that refers to a lunchbox which contains many individual compartments. The Bento storage specification is like this lunchbox in that it holds several pieces and formats of a compound document within a single container. Though the phrase "Bento container" refers to a technical specification developed and last revised by Apple Computer, Inc in 1993, we may use the term in a generic or metaphorical sense to mean a container for packing up and moving both the essence of a media format (a movie, a musical composition, etc.) and the information about this essence (the metadata) as a single unit.
