Metadata

Metadata is data about data. You can use metadata, for example, to enhance Web site indexing or enable Users to change the behavior of templates without having to modify template code.

The Content Manager allows you to add metadata to Components, Multimedia Components, Folders, Structure Groups, Publications, Page Templates, Component Templates, and Template Building Blocks. Metadata includes system-generated metadata, as well as user-defined metadata. User defined metadata is based on Metadata Schemas.
