The metadata element carries generic metadata information in the form on an attribute-value pair. The type of information it contains is determined by two attributes: element, which specifies the general type of metadata stored, and an optional qualifier attribute that narrows the type down. The standard representation for this pairing is element.qualifier. The actual metadata is contained in the text of the tag itself. Additionally, a language attribute can be used to specify the language used for the metadata entry.
