Les métadonnées
biul |
Metadata is often described as "data about data". It is a structured and standardised form of data documentation that can be read by "machines".
Among other things, metadata contains administrative information about the data (title, author, language, format, date, embargo period, publisher, licence, access conditions, etc.). Metadata is used by data repositories and browsers to catalogue data and make it easier to find and re-use. Metadata contributes to the "F" and "A" of FAIR data management. Metadata also serves as a bibliographic record for citations.
There are international standards for metadata (DublinCore, DataCite Metadata Schema). However, the metadata may depend on the repository and/or the discipline. If you want further information on your research community standard of metadata, please consult the catalogues of disciplinary metadata standards :
