Metadata is (loosely) “data about the data”. The metadata for an article is information concerning the article, for example, bibliographic data such as authorship, article title, and copyright year; descriptive material such as keywords and abstracts; or information about related articles. The article metadata is not part of the body text or graphics of the article proper, but serves to identify or describe the article.
