Metadata is "data [information] that provides information about other data". Three distinct types of metadata exist: structural metadata, descriptive metadata, and administrative metadata.

Structural metadata is data about the containers of data. For instance a "book" contains data, and data about the book is metadata about that container of data.

Descriptive metadata uses individual instances of application data or the data content.
