Abstract

This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview on structuring signal data and their metadata, highlighting key considerations for optimal management and storage.

Thus, this chapter answers where and how to store metadata efficiently. Chapter 3 explains what is considered metadata. Chapters 5 and 6 present how to collect certain metadata through dedicated sensor validation tests (Chapter 5) or algorithmic analysis (Chapter 6).
