What is Metadata?
Metadata is extra information about an item, such as title, contributor, etc . Metadata tells more about the image, as well as makes it easier to search for. Thalia is preconfigured with some metadata markup, and allows you to add others. Please follow this link to read descriptions of each Dublin Core metadata field. You may wish to add your own custom metadata fields in addition to the DC metadata fields already available. Academic disciplines have some standardized ones to describe their field of knowledge; picking from a menu makes them more consistent.
