Abstract

This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview of metadata types that may be useful during system design, optimization, and automation. Metadata are grouped into three main categories: (a) metadata describing signal generation, (b) metadata describing signal quality, and (c) contextual information in the form of annotations. Each of these categories is introduced and explained in three separate sections. Importantly, this chapter mainly answers what is considered metadata. To a lesser degree, recommendations are made regarding the selection of metadata for long-term storage. Chapter 4 will explain where and how to store metadata. Chapters 5 and 6 explain how to collect certain metadata through dedicated sensor validation tests (Chapter 5) or algorithmic analysis (Chapter 6).
