Newbie: Metadata Services

Hi, All!
I just would like to ask,
What is Metadata Services and what is it for?
Thanks, all!
--AYou can check books online under the topic Meta Data
Services Overview or you can find the link here:

It's a repository of information about your data. You could
use it with something like DTS to track the source,
transformations, packages and tables used with imported
data.
