Centonization

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes we need to organize things like toys or clothes in our room so that it's easier to find them when we need them? That's kind of like what centonization is but instead of our room, we are talking about a big computer called a server that stores a lot of information that people need to access from all over the world.

So, when we say centonization, it means organizing all the information on that computer in a way that makes it easy for people to find what they are looking for. It's kind of like putting all the toys in one box and all the clothes in another so that we can easily find what we need.

To make this happen, we use something called metadata, which is like tags that describe what the information is about. For example, if we are talking about a picture, we might add tags like who is in the picture, where it was taken, or what it's about.

By centonizing the information, we can make it faster and easier for people to find what they need without having to spend hours searching for it. And that's why centonization is important!
