Metadatais stored in two main places:
- Internally – embedded in the data.
- Externally – outside the data Digital Asset Management (DAM) system or by a “sidecar” file, such as XMP, or an external news exchange format file.
Metadata and Big data#
With advances of Big data and Machine Learning models, Metadata may be used to Uniquely provide Identification of an Entity even though the Metadata was supposed to be Anonymous[1] which brings into question the ability for Data anonymizationMore Information#
