Are you trying to develop an alternate, drop-in replacement for the metadata.db + filesystem that Calibre uses for storage?
To some extent yes. The reason is that with the correct redesign of filesystem, Calibre will be able to organize almost everything. Therefore, it will need a more robust metadata.db. In addition, the reason for archiving is that it will allow to create an easy way to transfer items between libraries without having to worry that you will import it wrong and will have to edit metadata again, as everything will be inside that archive.
