Overview

1)Information that refers to one or more other pieces of information that can exist as separate physical forms. In short, data about data. Any type of description can be considered metadata. Examples include library catalog information, encoded text file headers, and driver's license data. In the information technology world the term is often used to indicate data which refers to digital resources available across a network. <p> 2)Metadata describes the attributes of an information bearing object (IBO) - document, data set, database, image, artifact, collection, etc.; metadata acts as a surrogate representation of the IBO. A metadata record can include representations of the content, context, structure, quality, provenance, condition, and other characteristics of an IBO for the purposes of representing the IBO to a potential user - for discovery, evaluation for fitness for use, access, transfer, and citation. See also, Meta-information. Examples of metadata format are the MARC format used by the library community Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata developed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee Directory Interchange Format (DIF) used by NASA's Global Change Master Directory Government Information Locator Service (GILS), and Dublin Core set of attributes for electronic resources developed with the lead of the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC).
