Hi Reem, Metadata, in this case, refers to the data from the information or artwork (or other) template that's used when an image is uploaded to Commons. So it's not the exif-data, but information about, for example, who's the maker of a painting, when did he make it, what techniques did he use. Take, for example, the data from this upload: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NL-HlmNHA_53004672_Kaaiman.tif
