Metadata and discoverability

Resources are enriched with metadata such as title, description, tags, difficulty, language, and optional duration or author details. This metadata powers filtering and better matching in search and recommendations.

AI can also generate a concise resource summary, helping learners evaluate usefulness before opening the full content.
