The details listed below this user-generated Wave UFO video give a sense of the extensive metadata--art historical metadata as well as Scalar-specific metadada--included in Installation Archive: A Capsule Aesthetic
Metadata is "data [information] that provides information about other data".[1] Some of the primary types of metadata: descriptive metadata, structural metadata, and administrative metadata.[2]
- Descriptive metadata describes a resource for purposes such as discovery and identification. It can include elements such as title, abstract, author, and keywords.
- Structural metadata is metadata about containers of metadata and indicates how compound objects are put together, for example, how pages are ordered to form chapters.
- Administrative metadata provides information to help manage a resource, such as when and how it was created, file type and other technical information, and who can access it.[3]
