Glossary of Metadata Terminology
This glossary provides metadata-related definitions for the terms used on this web site.
In some cases definitions used by the larger marine metadata community may be different than those used by this site; in such cases, the difference is indicated. In many cases this page provides a metadata-centric definition for a term that has wider meetings (e.g., 'dictionary'); such cases begin with the phrase 'In the context of metadata'.
