what is the difference between meta data and activity data

Hi,

Good to hear from you.

Metadata is data about your data. If you have a file with data, then this file will have its own:

- date of creation

- user who created it

- date of last modification, etc.

This is data that describes the data in the file.

On the other hand, activity data is data that is generated by a user's activity inside a system/platform. For example, in some instances 365 collects data on which pages you have clicked on as a user and based on that information we decide whether users engage with a particular feature or not. 

Does the difference between the two terms i described here make sense, please?

Best,

Ned

Thank you so much
