Metadata concepts you need to understand in the era of big data

When we are moving into the era of big data, many professional vocabulary have to be carefully tasted. Understanding it will help clarify the direction in practice. From the time we started to understand the world, we are inseparable from metadata, which is the basis for us to understand the world. Today we will understand together what metadata is.

The concept of Metadata

Metadata is a concept we must first understand. Also known as intermediary data and relay data, it is data about data, which is mainly information describing data properties, used to support functions such as indicating storage location, historical data, resource search, and file recording. Metadata can be regarded as an electronic catalog. In order to achieve the purpose of compiling the catalog, the content or characteristics of the data must be described and collected, so as to achieve the purpose of assisting data retrieval. Dublin Core Metadata InitiaTIve (DCMI) is an application of metadata. It was developed by the International Library Computer Center (OCLC) and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NaTIonal Center for SupercompuTIng ApplicaTIons, NCSA) in February 1995. The co-sponsored seminar is inviting 52 librarians and computer experts to jointly develop specifications and create a set of characteristics describing electronic files on the Internet.

Simply put, metadata is data that describes the data itself, in other words, it is not the object itself, it only describes the properties of the object, it is a data that describes the data itself. For example, if you want to shop online and buy a piece of clothing, then the clothing is the data, and the color, size, workmanship, style, etc. that you care about when you choose the clothing you want are its metadata; another example, a painting itself , Is the data. The author, completion time, size, price, type, etc. of this painting are its metadata.

When you usually play games, judge whether a piece of equipment is powerful, the strength, sensitivity, intelligence and other information displayed on the equipment are also metadata. Their effect is to tell you what the equipment data brings to you. It’s not the key that you choose to equip yourself with the data, because other equipment is also data, but you rely on metadata to choose and judge. It's like encountering a person who has only met once, but you have a certain image of him, then this image is a metadata of this person.

In Bee Bang Bang, it is also through a segmented data image method similar to metadata to achieve a service that can bring a high-quality experience to a specific group of people. Therefore, it is achieved through a big data analysis of the user through the channel. Strictly selected precise matching.

The value of metadata

The value of metadata is very large. People or things we encounter in our daily life are basically judged through metadata. It has two values: one is to describe the goal from the side; the other is to be structured and informatized.

For example, we have to judge whether a painting is worthless. In addition to finding an expert to judge, it can also be judged through metadata.

For example, is this painting by a famous artist or by a second-rate painter? Is this painting a work of the painter's heyday, or is it a work of his youth? Is this painting a category that the painter is good at? After this information, we can probably estimate the value of this painting. Although there may be errors, this method is very scientific.

This is the value generated on big data: For unstructured and unquantified objects themselves, structured metadata can be used for quick calculations and judgments.

Metadata is closely related to big data applications

The first stage of big data application is auxiliary products, which provide support for products and help product personnel and market personnel make judgments. In the past, product research was very troublesome. Suppose there is a beverage company who wants to know which flavor the market likes most. They not only have to design a questionnaire, but also organize a lot of people to try it on the spot, and the results may not be accurate. With the Internet, you don’t have to be so troublesome, as long as you have real data, you can quickly analyze it. For example, Tencent knows how many of its WeChat users use Moments, how many posts a day, and what content they post. These are all real data. For another example, now a user buys ten boxes of water online every month, and the address left is a high-end restaurant, we know who the target audience of this bottle of water is.

The second stage of big data application is to create value. When the data accumulates to a certain extent, the data itself is valuable. For example, it is not an institution or association that China is most familiar with the consumption habits of ordinary people, but Taobao; it is not a bank or consulting company that has the most comprehensive personal credit information, but Alipay. The reason is very simple. All our consumption and transaction behaviors are on a certain platform, and this platform has all the data records, then the data itself is the product. If you sell consumer behavior data to advertisers, advertisers can target you to deliver advertisements; if you sell credit data to banks, the bank can determine your creditworthiness.

From another perspective, through the metadata of our behavior data, we are slowly describing the quantified information. For example, how much money you spend in a year, in what way, etc., can let others get a rough idea of ​​you through the data. Therefore, the third stage of big data application is to shape us. For example, if you have been using WeChat to contact a classmate recently, and you have been searching for a new movie on the Internet, then you are likely to watch this new movie with this classmate.
