Metadata Address is a term that is used in TSK as a generic term for the addresses of file system-specific data structures that store file metadata. Each file system has a different name for the structure(s) that store the metadata, including:

FAT: Directory entry
NTFS: MFT Entry
UFS: Inode
ExtX: Inode
HFS: Catalog record

The metadata address can be used in TSK to specify the files to analyze.
