As an example, we would simply scribble on napkins to build a UML CVD that might have an element “Foo” and an attribute “Bar” which had to have String value and was mandatory.  In this case, “metadata” simply meant “data about data”.  Defining XML schemas was a very popular activity from 1998-2008.
