A metadata file is an optional file that can be included in a community project to pass information about the project to external programs. The metadata file is generally placed in a "Metadata" folder which is placed in the root directory.

The metadata file is a yaml file, and the standard structure is defined in the ROS GitHub Organisation.

Metadata files can be parsed using the rostools package, which includes Python, C++ and Java versions.
