Metadata
Metadata is data that applies to other data. This can seem confusing to some, so for an example, you may take a picture and save it digitally on your computer. That image’s metadata could include information such as when and where the picture was taken. In this way, the file contains both the image itself and additional descriptive data. Other metadata can include creator information and licensing or legal rights related to a file’s use.
