 Metadata is data that describes other data. There are two types of metadata. Structural metadata and descriptive metadata. Structural metadata is data about the containers of data such a paragraphs, chapters, headers etc. Descriptive metadata uses individual instances of application data or the data content such as titles, names etc.

 Every object in Tradamus can be described through annotation.

 In common practice, annotations which are attached to the object itself are referred to as *metadata*. Titles, authorship, provenance, and date are examples of information often stored in these fields. Common standards such as TEI and IIIF include a metadata property to accommodate this convention.

 ## Best Practice
 For all annotations, the more clearly the type is defined, the better the annotation. When considering content, a URI is ideal, but any meaningful content can be made more clear later on. A type can be any string of characters— the best will be either a defined type like `http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor` or an array of types, if diversity will improve understanding.

 In Tradamus, the tags can be used to filter annotations simply and build publications without having to decide early on which vocabulary you will use. Later, batch editing will be possible to accomplish actions like "give all `person` tagged annotations the type `foaf:Person`" and the data will be easily improved.

 In common practice, annotations which are attached to the object itself are referred to as *metadata*. Titles, authorship, provenance, and date are examples of information often stored in these fields. Common standards such as TEI and IIIF include a metadata property to accommodate this convention.

 In reality, what separates data from metadata is its instantaneous context—it is a semantic distinction for convenience when considered through the scope of all digitized knowledge. To that end, Tradamus creates annotations when generating metadata that target the object which they describe. These types of relationships are at the core of Linked Open Data, the sheet music for harmonious interoperability and discovery.

 Moreover, attribution for this metadata becomes individualized, so open and collaborative projects have more control over whose contributions become authoritative and proper credit becomes automatic.
