Timestamps in metadata show when the file was created, modified, or accessed.
Metadata defines the file type (e.g., image, document) and format (e.g., JPEG, PDF).
Some files include metadata about the author or creator of the content.
Metadata indicates file permissions, access rights, and ownership details.
Metadata may show the file's location within a file system or directory structure.
For versioned files, metadata includes version details for change tracking.
Metadata may include checksums or hashes for verifying file integrity.
