Application Notes

Metadata (data about data) is captured by Oasis montaj from the first time the data is touched. The metadata information, which is based on ISO 19115 standards, is stored inside the data (if supported) or as a companion XML file. When you import or work with data in Oasis montaj, the user name, date, time and any "actions performed on the data" will be maintained in the metadata. When data is derived from other data, the metadata is passed on, and the lineage of what was done to the data is maintained in the Lineage section.
