Metadata is Data which contains information about other Data. Metadata is required to be able to fulfil a specific Purpose or to achieve a defined Result. ¶
¶
Metadata is structured, coded Data that describes Characteristica of Information-carrying Entities for the purpose of Identification, Research, Evaluation and Administration of the described Entities. ¶
¶
Metadata is Machine-Understandable Information about Web Resources or other Things. ¶
¶
Metadata is an essential thing because it describes the Object referring to. ¶
¶
Identifier identifies the Object. ¶
Accessing this identifier in the Web retrieves a representation of the original Object that delivers information about this Object in the form of Metadata that describes the Object. This is sufficient to talk about the Object. ¶

A Representation represents (stands for) the information about an Object, which describes (designates) a resource that is in turn identified by an URI. ¶
