Ab ¥ Schema Mapping: This is a semi-automated data mapping strategy in which a data mapping software establishes a relation between a data source and the target schema. Y Fully-Automated Data Mapping: The most convenient, simple, and efficient data mapping technique uses a code-free, drag-and-drop data mapping Ul for carrying out mapping tasks easily in just a few clicks. What is Metadata? Metadata is “data that provides information about other data". In other words, it is “data about data". Types of Metadata ¥ According to National Information,Standards Organization (NISO) ¥ Descriptive metadata is typically used for discovery and identification, as information to search and locate an object, such as title, author, subjects, keywords, publisher. , ¥ Structural metadata describes how the components of an object are organized. An example of structural metadata would be how pages are ordered to form chapters of a book. ¥ Administrative metadata gives information to help manage the source. Administrative metadata refers to the technical information, including file type, or when and how the file was created ¥ Rights management metadata explains intellectual property rights, while Preservation metadata contains information to preserve and save a resource. Examples of Metadata Aphoto = Every time you take & “zs! a photo with today's cameras a bunch of ~ » metadata is gathered and saved with it: ¥ date and time, v filename, ¥ camera settings, ¥ geolocation. Examples of Metadata Each book has a number of standard metadata on the covers and inside. This includes: ¥ atitle, ¥ author name, Y publisher and copyright details, Y description on a back, ¥ table of contents, v index, Y page numbers. Examples of Metadata Every bigg post has standard metadata fields that are usually at before first paragraph. This includes: ¥ title, ¥ author, es Why es More Important to Document ¥ published time, Database Than Application Code Y category, ¥ tags. Every emall you send or recelve has a number of metadata fields, many of which ore hidden in the message header and not visible fo you in your mail client. This metadata includes: Y subject, ¥ from, % Y to, Y dateand time sent, ¥ sending and receving server names and IPs, Y format (plain text of HTLM), Y anti-spam software details. (Datedo Examples of Metadata Every word processing software collects some stondord metadata and enables you to add your own fields for exch document. Typica fields are: @ title, ¥ subiect, Y author, ¥ company, ¥ status, creation date and time, S ¥ last modification date and time, number ot pages. Examples of Metadata Spreadsheets contain a few metadata fields: ¥ tab names, ¥ tablenames, ¥ column names, ¥ user comments. A spreadsheet [RE] rat Examples of Metadata Relational databases store and provide access not only data but also metadata ina structure called data dictionary or system catalog. It holds information about: ¥ tables, columns, data types, constraints, table relationships, and mony more Examples of Metadata Allthe fields you see by Computer files each file in file explorer is actually metadata. The actual data is inside those files. Metaciata includes: ¥ filename, * v type, v size, Y creation date and time, ¥ last modification date and time. preecemc Examples of Metadata Every web page has a number of metadata fields: ¥ page titie, Y page description, ¥ icon.

Metadata Standards T A metadata standard is a requirement & Y intended to establish a common understanding of the meaning or semantics of the data ¥ ensure correct and proper use and interpretation of the data by its ‘owners and users. Metadata elements grouped into sets designed for a specific purpose, eg, for a specific domain or a particular type of information resource, are called metadata schemas. Metadata Standards Ametadata standard is a high level document which establishes a commen way of structuring and understanding data, and includes principles and implementation issues for utilizing the standard. e Metadata standard ‘Amott sandr esterases ein 3 cmon unde ot ‘ne mer or enon ch ata ‘oar cae sa prope un ar erate 2 Metadata Ditton arene nates ever io raw ose oma Pharma reno atau retwcn anvonent hee ange hero an cgarnon A gal ‘agi nese cami sue ue ree, hac ear ‘ature sayecaaloston ne ha aresutn Acar s stearate irae ‘eisai ss sho ni ed os a naps, woes Bao at sy taney: 1+ See tata ncn noma tein 2 gh + Stuctsal etc decumerte restora itn a arong objects Bough slam sich ‘Sints eae campos etow popes me pttoguber ote care WHEE eer mses meunrseth mtee fa rules, business terms, and database schemas.

Why is metadata important? Metadata allows users to: ¥ Find or identify a resource ¥ Know who created the resource or contributed fo the creation of the resource ¥ Understand how the resource was created and manipulated ’ ~ Know when the resource was created ¥ Determine tools needed to view, manipulate, and use the resource ¥ Understand rights and use conditions surrounding the resource ¥ Connect to related information objects What Metadata Isn't? Metadata is data that describes data, but it isn't the data itself. The author and creation date metadata stored in a Microsoft Word document, for example, is not the entirety of the document but instead just a few details about the file. Since metadata is not the actual data, it can usually safely be made public because it doesn’t give anyone access to the raw data Knowing summary details about a web page or video file, for example, is enough to understand what the file is but not enough to actually see the whole page or play the whole video. Think of metadata as a card file in your childhood library that contains information about a book; metadata isn't the book itself. You can learn a lot about a book by examining its card file, but you have to open the book to read it.
