Exploring metadata
In case you forgot, metadata fields are there to describe the actual data such as the file name, shooting date, and camera name for a digital picture.
After we installed Content Server in Chapter 2, I mentioned that there're two types of metadata fields: Standard and Extended or Custom. Let's take a closer look at what they can do for us.
Standard metadata
Standard metadata is essential for the system to function. These are fields like content ID, revision ID, check-in date, and author. Let's take a quick look at all of them so you have a full picture.

In the last column on the Search Results page click on the i icon on any of the result rows. That brings up a Content Info screen.
From this screen there is no way to tell which fields are Standard and which are Extended. So how do you tell?
