Any descriptive data intended to contextualize or otherwise qualify Research Data and/or Datasets and/or Publication Data and their management through time. Typically, Metadata is created in the course of a Study and then integrated, organized, and refined during Data Curation. Examples of Metadata are: Sample properties and/or treatment history recorded in an Electronic Laboratory Notebook, Instrument parameters saved with Raw Data, analysis processes saved with Analyzed Data, Settings of a Model, but also data license, affiliation of Research Users, descriptions of how files are named, structured and stored. Metadata may be registered in a Metadata Repository and assigned a Persistent Identifier.
