Metadata is defined as data that describes a data set. It can contain information regarding the manner of collection, the time of collection, as well as information about how the file was accessed and used in relation to other files. The usage of metadata is critical in order to provide information about a variety of digital resources, including images, videos, audio recordings, and digital resources.
Types of Metadata
Structural Metadata
Structural metadata contains information about the organization or structure of a digital resource. This can include information about the outline of a document, such as chapters, paragraphs, and sections, or information about the organization of a digital collection, such as the arrangement of items in a database or the relationships between files in a file system. Structural metadata can help users navigate, search, and understand the content of a digital resource.
Descriptive Metadata
Administrative Metadata
A text, image, or video resource may contain administrative metadata that describes the administration, organization, and technical specifications of a digital resource. Information about the resource's developer, the file format, and any copyright or access limitations can all be found in administrative metadata. The management, preservation, and accessibility of the resource are facilitated with the use of this type of metadata.
