# PGP-UK metadata

Metadata is data that describes other data. On this page, we've detailed the metadata that are available for filtering Personal Genome Project UK (PGP-UK) pilot data in the associated [public project](https://cgc.sbgenomics.com/u/sevenbridges/personal-genome-project-uk-pgp-uk/) on the CGC. The PGP-UK pilot dataset contains 201 files from 13 individuals, as downloaded from the [PGP-UK Data Portal](https://www.personalgenomes.org.uk/data/) on 18 March 2018.

[Filter the data by metadata fields](https://docs.cancergenomicscloud.org/docs/search-files-on-the-cgc#section-filter-by-metadata-fields) to find the PGP-UK data you’re interested in. Alternatively, you can [sort the available files by metadata fields](https://docs.cancergenomicscloud.org/docs/search-files-on-the-cgc#section-sort-by-metadata-fields) or filter via [tags](https://docs.cancergenomicscloud.org/docs/tag-your-files#section-filtering-tags-within-a-project) that we’ve added to the files.

### FILTER BY METADATA FIELDS

The following metadata fields can be used to search for samples of interest:
