distinguish data from metadata. If I don't know the context, I can't.
That context is "data that imposes some condition (structure,
constraints, significance, etc) upon other data" which is similar to
your statement "the derivation rule and the constraint are metadata"
which is also similar to Paul's alternative "meta-data is data about
the representation of data". Can you refinement it?
