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

Best,

>> Hi all,

>> As best practice we usually encourage GLAMs to provide as many metadata
