5 Minute Metadata - What is a data dictionary?

In this video we help unpack the key components of data dictionaries and how they relate to data and metadata. We also help explain how a data dictionary can give additional context to a collection of data to help people understand data better.
Some of the key components of a data dictionary that are covered in this video are:
* The short name of the data element or column
* A longer definition that describes the data
* The type of data that was collected
* And if applicable, a list of possible values

What is the difference between data dictionary and meta data? Are they the same concept?

[@alyssaanderson3430]

To my mind data dictionaries are made up of metadata (data about data)

[@t83714]

I think it's closer to `the schema` of the metadata rather than the metadata itself
