Metadata is a statement about a resource.
*From [[Sources/books/Metadata|Metadata]] by Jeffrey Pomerantz*
In other words, metadata is data that describes some thing that we're interested in. For example, if the resource we're interested in is this page, we might have the following metadata:
- Page title: `metadata`
- author: `Stuart Maxwell`
- URL: `https://stumax.info/Concepts/metadata`
- tags: `concept`, `definition`
- creation date: `6/20/24`
- modified data: `6/23/24`
- etc....
