In programming terms they're variables you add to the top of a note. Or if you ever used a static site generator, they're the same as YAML metadata. In fact, they are YAML metadata with a prettier interface. You can't really do anything useful with them within Obsidian without some plugins (like Dataview) just yet, but dynamic databases are on the roadmap. So, eventually you'll be able to query, filter, sort notes without a third-party plugin, get the results as a table, and insert that table into some of your notes. Think "every book note whose author = John Doe, sorted by release date", "every note that contains #tag1 and #tag2, but not #tag3", things like that. And the result will be auto-updated whenever you change some metadata. |

If you have the dataview plugin installed, you can also define properties in the note itself, using the `property:: value` syntax.
