<data> /me't*-day't*/, or combinations of /may'-/ or
(Commonwealth) /mee'-/; /-dah't*/ (Or "meta data") Data about
data. In data processing, meta-data is definitional data
that provides information about or documentation of other data
managed within an application or environment.
For example, meta-data would document data about {data
elements} or attributes, (name, size, data type, etc) and
data about records or data structures (length, fields,
columns, etc) and data about data (where it is located, how it
is associated, ownership, etc.). Meta-data may include
descriptive information about the context, quality and
condition, or characteristics of the data.
Not to be confused with Metadata.

<product> (Note: One unhyphenated word with initial capital;
contrast meta data) A word coined by Jack E. Myers to
represent current and future lines of products implementing
the concepts of his MetaModel, and also to designate his
company The Metadata Company that would develop and market
those products.
A data and publication search performed when Myers coined the
term, early in the summer of 1969, did not discover any use
either of the word "metadata" or "meta data". Myers used the
term in a 1973 product brochure and it is an Incontestable
registered U.S. Trademark.

Metadata is "data that provides information about other data", but not the content of the data, such as the text of a message or the image itself. There are many distinct types of metadata, including:

XMDP
XHTML Meta Data Profiles (XMDP) is a format for defining metadata 'profiles' or formats in a machine-readable fashion, while also enabling people to see a description of the definition visually in a web browser. XMDP definitions are expressed in XHTML (or possibly HTML). Examples of applications that use XMDP include XFN and hCard.
Examples of use of meta-data
1. The Supreme Court for decades has accorded a lesser privacy right to calling–record data –– which the NSA likes to call "meta–data" –– than to the underlying content.
2. The tricky legal question is whether a different privacy standard should apply to the meta–data that overlay the communication itself.
3. The plaintiffs intend to request not just government documents but also e–mails, including who contacted whom and when –– the very sort of "meta–data" that the administration is accused of mining as part of its surveillance program.
4. To firmly set the NSA program within the law, Congress and the courts will have to think carefully about what‘s known in the signals intelligence world as "meta–data." These are the tags that identify the basic facts of a communication –– time, date, to, from –– but not its content.
