Metadata
Descriptive information that provides context and additional details about a dataset, such as its origin, structure, and meaning. Metadata plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry in ensuring data quality, integrity, and interoperability across different systems and applications. This may include information about the source of a dataset, the methodology used to collect and process the data, and the relevant standards and conventions followed. In drug development, metadata can help researchers and regulators understand the provenance and reliability of experimental data, facilitate data sharing and collaboration, and support regulatory compliance and auditability.
