Before I read this chapter, I have no idea about what Metadata mean.
Although I have been using and creating metadata for my class, school and daily so long.
Metadata is INFORMATION about a RESOURCE. In other word, Metadata is the resource's detail data or information.
Different Metadata comes different meaning:
Basic descriptive metadata (Called bibliographic metadata)
For example, title, Author, description, identifier, subject and keyword.
Contextual metadata:
Information about the objectives,target audience, audience levels and difficulties, and relative information about context can be categorized into contextual metadata.
Right metadata:
For example:
copyright, terms of use and contact information for obtaining permission.
Technical mtadata:
Format, platform requirements, software requirements and structural information.
Usage information:
Documentation and guides.
The major difference between metadata and database is that metadata is only for strucuring certain module/template and the information for certain module and template. In other hand, database is bigger and for store the data that we have and collect.
