Effective metadata management is a consistent challenge faced by many scientific experiments. These challenges are magnified by the evolving needs of the experiment, the intricacies of seamlessly integrating a new system with existing analytical frameworks, and the crucial mandate to maintain database integrity. In this work we present the various challenges faced by experiments that produce a large amount of metadata and describe the solution used by the XENON experiment for metadata management.
