Abstract

Metadata is a vital information embedded within an electronic file about a container of data or a single file data. By accessing an electronic file's metadata, a user can access a variety of information that drives him/her in a quick selection of the datasets to extract from a data archive according to its specific application. Two types of metadata exist: structural metadata and descriptive metadata. Structural metadata is data about the containers of data. Descriptive metadata uses individual instances of application data or the data content.
