Hello Matthew,

--"transcendent data"
yet another term ? 
--"data about data" 
makes pretty good sense after all:
cf. 'book about books', 
e.g. a bibliography or a review collection
and all those billions of catalogue cards...
One might well regard these examples to be 
metadata as well, I guess,

kind regards,
-- 
hal :-)
