Metadata is data about data. Consider a file with a picture. The picture or the pixels inside the file are data. A description of the picture, like "JPEG format, 300x400 pixels, 72dpi", is metadata, because it describes the content of the file, although it's not the actual data.

Would be right to say that the value of attributes are metadata? for instance; the name is an attribute while the "John" is the value of the name attribute, in this way, in case of value, John to be called the metadata? does it correct? anyone corrects me.

Actual data is what will be displayed here. Metadata means data about data eg;who accesses the database, time of access, the size of data etc. They are data about data. So the answer is user data.
