What is “Structural Metadata”?

Simply put, structural metadata describes the variables within a dataset and how they are organised.

In DSRC Data Standards this takes the form of a Data Dictionary.

The Data Dictionary is organised into Data Classes.

Data Classes contain one or more Data Elements and/or child Data Classes.

Data Elements contain a Data Type which specifies the input value of the element e.g. varchar or datetime.
