Metadata in Sift allows organizations to define structured key value pairs that can be applied to any resource in the workspace, creating a consistent taxonomy for organizing, categorizing, and filtering data. Each Metadata key is defined once at the organization level and bound to a specific data type, ensuring values are used consistently across projects while enabling advanced search and filtering to make large collections of resources easier to manage and explore.
