# `metadata`

Stardog Databases have a variety of configuration options. All configuration options have sensible default, but often times you'll want to inspect some options and make changes. A database's configuration options are often referred to as its metadata, hence this command group name. Read more about [Database Options](../../operating-stardog/database-administration/database-configuration).
