Metadata isn’t something that most lawyers spend a lot of time thinking about. Many probably don’t know what it is, or that it can easily hurt them and/or their clients.

For those who have trouble with that, try the so-called “sophisticated” definition, which states metadata is “structured, encoded data that describe characteristics of information-bearing entities to aid in the identification, discovery, assessment and management of the described entities.”
