Overview of Metadata

Thus "metadata" means "data that deal with other data," or "data that deal with original data,"or casually but briefly, "data about data." Within the library- and information-science (LIS) community, the most frequent use of "metadata" is to refer to data produced as part of the process of cataloging of materials in libraries and other information agencies.
