Metadata
From Understanding Metadata:
- Descriptive metadata describes a resource for purposes such as discovery and identification. It can include elements such as title, abstract, author, and keywords.
- Structural metadata indicates how compound objects are put together, for example, how pages are ordered to form chapters.
- Administrative metadata provides information to help manage a resource, such as when and how it was created, file type, and other technical information, and who can access it.
- Rights management metadata deals with intellectual property rights
- Preservation metadata contains information on how to archive and preserve a resource.
