Descriptive information or tags associated with digital files or records, providing context, structure, and searchability. Metadata refers to the descriptions of archival items. It is essential that relevant metadata is collected and attached to the digital archival items and stored in a structured form suitable for software processing. Without its attached metadata, digital archival material becomes meaningless and unusable, as we might be unable to find or identify it, understand what it is, its context, history, creator, or where it belongs in the archive.
