A method of optimizing automatic schema-based metadata generation, the method including, receiving a trigger to automatically generate metadata for unstructured data, dynamically detecting a metadata optimization parameter for the unstructured data, automatically selecting a metadata schema for the unstructured data, identifying a pre-optimized metadata-generation format for the selected metadata schema, automatically transforming the unstructured data into an optimized metadata-generation structure of the pre-optimized metadata-generation format, identifying a metadata-generation logic set for the detected metadata optimization parameter, the identification based on a programmed association between the metadata-generation logic set and the detected metadata optimization parameter, and a stored pre-programmed logic set of computer-executable actions, executing the computer-executable actions in relation to the optimized metadata-generation structure, generating a search phrase responsive to the execution of the plurality of computer-executable actions, generating a metadata descriptor based on the search phrase and storing the metadata descriptor.
