Common Metadata - Metadata developed within the common data architecture to provide all the detail necessary to thoroughly understand the data resource and how it can be improved to meet the business information demand.

In simple but technical term, metadata is a data that describes another data. It can be any item describing an individual datum or a collection of multiple content items.

Metadata is very useful in facilitating the use, management and understanding of data in a large data warehouse. Depending on the type of data and the context where the data is being used, metadata required to effectively manage a database or large data warehouse varies.
