Manage metadata

Metadata is generally defined as "data about data". Metadata is information which describes, or supplements the central data. In the Manage Metadata tab, you can manage nodes in the metadata format in the eXo Platform system. The metadata may be considered as information used to describe the data. When data are provided to end-users, the metadata allows users to understand about information in more details. All metadata nodes can combine with other nodes to create a new node (add mix).
