Description: A metadata schema is a structured framework for organizing and defining metadata in cloud storage systems. Metadata is data that describes other data, providing additional information that facilitates management, search, and retrieval. In the context of cloud storage, a metadata schema allows users to define specific attributes for stored objects, such as file type, creation date, owner, tags, and other relevant parameters. This not only improves data organization but also optimizes query performance and integration with ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes. By implementing a metadata schema, organizations can ensure that their data is easily accessible and understandable, which is crucial in environments handling large volumes of information. Furthermore, a well-defined schema can facilitate interoperability between different systems and applications, enabling better collaboration and real-time data analysis.
