Contains information about the pronunciation lexicon document in a metadata schema.
Syntax

<metadata>...</metadata> | |
Attributes
None.
Remarks
The metadata element may be located either before or after the meta element, but must occur before all lexeme elements contained within the root lexicon element.
The metadata element is a container in which authors can place information about the document using a metadata schema. Authors can use any metadata schema. However, the Pronunciation Lexicon Specification (PLS) Version 1.0 recommends that authors use the Resource Description Format (RDF) schema in conjunction with the general metadata properties (for example, Title, Creator, Subject, Description, and Copyrights) defined in the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.
