Metadata describes the technical and semantic structure of objects. It describes all the objects of a SAP NetWeaver BI system, including InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and all objects for analyzing and planning, such as Web applications. These will be explained later on in the document. You can use the Metadata Repository to access information about these objects centrally and to view their properties and the relationships between the various objects.

You can also add unstructured SAP NetWeaver BI information to data and objects. Unstructured information is documents in various formats (such as screen or text formats), versions and languages. The documents help to describe data and objects in BI in addition to the existing structured information. This allows you for example to add images of employees to their personnel numbers or to describe the meaning of characteristics or key figures in a text document.
