Metadata: It is the data which describes the properties or characteristics of end users data and the context of the data.
Metadata properties can include information such as:
Data name,
Definitions,
Length or size,
Values allowed.
Metadata and data are always separate. Metadata enables the database designers and programmers to understand exactly in which form the data should exist within the system.
