Of course, that could be done with a custom SQL query, but we didn't want to have to reimplement all the nav/pagination stuff from scratch. 

@carolinp, feel free to add your thoughts.

For our datasette project, we just have a bunch of dictionaries defined in the base template for things like site URL and column humanized names:  https://github.com/baltimore-sun-data/salaries-datasette/blob/master/templates/base.html It would be cleaner if this were in the metadata.json.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",299760684,Metadata should be a nested arbitrary KV store,

That way we could support arbitrary key/values and avoid the application code having special knowledge of license_url etc.

Yes, you could have `metadata` that works like `metadata` does currently and `inherited_metadata` that works with inheritance.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",299760684,Metadata should be a nested arbitrary KV store,

I think the simplest implementation is to change lines like

```python
        metadata = self.ds.metadata.get('databases', {}).get(name, {})
```

to

```python
metadata = {
    **self.ds.metadata,
    **self.ds.metadata.get('databases', {}).get(name, {}),
}
```

so that specified inner values overwrite outer values, but only if they exist.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",299760684,Metadata should be a nested arbitrary KV store,
