Metadata

Metadata are defined as data about data. Metadata describe the content, quality, availability, and other characteristics of data. This allows other researchers, managers, and other interested persons to discover what research is being done and to assess the suitability of the data for a particular application. On this page you will find links to metadata and the project each metadata is associated with.
