Metadata and data

A metadata is the technical structure of a datum. It is the combination of a label, a technical name and a type.

All information such as field label, API name, and data type form the metadata of a field.

The data is the value contained in the metadata.

The metadata is created by the administrator or developer and the data by the user.

Example: A custom field called “Business Sector”

The metadata for this field is:

  • Label = Business Sector
  • API name = Business_Sector
  • Data type = Picklist

The data is the value selected in this picklist, for example: Service.
