Metadata Management for Large Statistical Databases

Summary: Proposes a unified framework for managing statistical metadata alongside data, synthesizing statistical analysis, bibliographic retrieval, data-dictionary, and DBMS concepts. Grounded in a large statistical database, it characterizes metadata types, structures, uses, and management requirements. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
