Metadata is information about data. Metadata is not displayed on the page, their elements are typically used to specify page description, keywords, author of the document, last modifications etc. They can be used by browsers (how to display content or reload page), search engines (description, keywords), or other web services.
The <meta> tag always goes inside the head element.
