Application Notes

Metadata—data about data—is captured by Oasis montaj from the moment a dataset is accessed. This metadata, based on the ISO 19115 standard, is stored either within the data itself (if supported) or as a companion .xml file.

When working with data in Oasis montaj, key details such as the username, date, time, and any actions performed are recorded as part of the metadata. If new data is created from existing sources, this information is carried over, and the complete history of operations is preserved in the Lineage section.
