Metadata
Data that describes and provides information about other data.
Definition
Metadata is data that describes other data, providing context and making it easier to find and use. Document metadata includes attributes like title, author, creation date, file type, and classification tags. In document intelligence systems, metadata enables filtering, improves search relevance, and provides context for AI processing. Effective metadata management is essential for enterprise-scale document systems.
