Data about data. In data processing, metadata is
definitional data that provides information about or
documentation of other data managed within an application or
environment.
For example, metadata 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.). Metadata may include
descriptive information about the context, quality and
condition, or characteristics of the data.
A collection of metadata, e.g. in a database, is called a
data dictionary.
Myers of The Metadata Company claims to have coined the term
in 1969 though it appears in the book, "Extension of
programming language concepts" published in 1968, by {Philip
R. Bagley}. Bagley was a pioneer of computer document
retrieval. "A survey of extensible programming languages" by
Solntsseff and Yezerski (Annual Review in Automatic
Programming, 1974, pp267-307) cites "the notion of 'metadata'
introduced by Bagley".

Metadata Information Partners
A company founded by Jack E. Myers, originally known

"Metadata" (unhyphenated with initial capital, as opposed to
the general term metadata) to represent
implementations of his MetaModel and to designate his
company.
Myers claims that a data and publication search in the summer
of 1969 failed to discover any use either of the word
"metadata" or "meta data".
