Metadata is
defined as "data about data". When you are considering
whether or not a particular data set meets your needs, you probably
consider a lot of factors. For example, you might want to know
- when
the data were collected,
- who
built the data set,
- what
format it's in,
- how
large the file is,
- how
the data set was meant to be used and
- where
you should go to see about using it.
All of these factors
make up metadata - the who, what, when, where and why of the data
world.
