2.4. Business and Technical Metadata

Metadata can include different types of information about a piece of data.
  • Technical metadata describes the information required to access the data, such as where the data resides or the structure of the data in its native environment.
  • Business metadata details other information about the data, such as keywords related to the meta object or notes about the meta object.

Note

The terms technical and business metadata, refer to the content of the metadata, namely what type of information is contained in the metadata. Do not confuse these with the terms physical and view metadata that indicate what the metadata represents.
