Definition: Data that describes other data, serving as an informative label.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek,
At a word you’ve heard, and what it means to speak!
We’re talking ‘metadata,’ don’t you fret or frown,
It's like little notes, all over town.
The dictionary says, with a helpful plea,
"Data that describes
other
data, you see!"
Think of it this way, a lovely rhyme,
Like a book report, marking the time.
It’s not the story itself, the words so bright,
But information
about
it – shining light!
For example, if you have a picture grand,
The metadata tells us where and when it spanned.
It might say who took it, what camera was used,
Or even the date – neatly infused!
So, metadata’s details, clear and true,
Giving context to something new.
It's labels and hints, a helpful guide,
To understand data, deep inside!
Do you have any questions? Let’s discuss with glee,
Now who can give me an example for me?
