Technical Metadata

Technical metadata refers to the detailed information about a digital file or asset that describes its technical properties. This includes aspects like file format, size, resolution, creation date, and encoding details. It helps users and systems understand how the file is structured, how to access or display it, and ensures proper management, preservation, or reuse. Think of it as a set of behind-the-scenes data that provides essential context about the digital object’s technical characteristics, making it easier to organize, maintain, and utilize effectively.
