8 years ago Hi Danny,
From Merriam-Webster dictionary:
"data that provides information about other data"
From Oxford dictionaries:
"A set of data that describes and gives information about other data"
From Internet Security Glossary v2 (RFC 4949):
"Descriptive information about a data object; i.e., data about data, or data labels that describe other data"
Note that RFC 4949 goes on to say that "metadata" (without hyphen) was a US registered trademark of The Metadata Company - granted in 1986 (although the first use of the unhypenated word was 1981).
Cheers,
- Ira
