In the simplest of terms, Metadata is data about data. A simple example of metadata for a document might include a collection of information like the author, file size, the date and time the document was created, and even some keywords to describe the document itself.
Metadata is the behind-the-scenes information that's leveraged everywhere, by every industry, in multiple and unique ways. Metadata adds context to the data that you are analyzing, as well as insights that significantly improve your data’s potential. Metadata is vital for Database management and has been around for a long time.
Think of Metadata like the book cover of a book, it briefly tells you the size, topic, author, and in some cases a small summary of the book. This allows you to understand what to expect from the book's topic, contents, size, and insights. It also helps you find the book faster on the shelf of your cabinet. That is why Metadata management is so important.
