abstract = {Metadata are created to describe the corresponding data in
a detailed and unambiguous way and is used for various
applications in different research areas, for example, data
identification and classification. However, a clear
definition of metadata is crucial for further use.
Unfortunately, extensive experience with the processing and
management of metadata has shown that the term 'metadata'
and its use is not always unambiguous.This study aimed to
understand the definition of metadata and the challenges
resulting from metadata reuse.A systematic literature search
was performed in this study following the PRISMA (Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses)
guidelines for reporting on systematic reviews. Five
research questions were identified to streamline the review
process, addressing metadata characteristics, metadata
standards, use cases, and problems encountered. This review
was preceded by a harmonization process to achieve a general
understanding of the terms used.The harmonization process
resulted in a clear set of definitions for metadata
processing focusing on data integration. The following
literature review was conducted by 10 reviewers with
different backgrounds and using the harmonized definitions.
This study included 81 peer-reviewed papers from the last
decade after applying various filtering steps to identify
the most relevant papers. The 5 research questions could be
answered, resulting in a broad overview of the standards,
use cases, problems, and corresponding solutions for the
application of metadata in different research areas.Metadata
can be a powerful tool for identifying, describing, and
processing information, but its meaningful creation is
costly and challenging. This review process uncovered many
standards, use cases, problems, and solutions for dealing
with metadata. The presented harmonized definitions and the
new schema have the potential to improve the classification
and generation of metadata by creating a shared
understanding of metadata and its context.},
