Introducing Metadata
I really like metadata. I totally get its purpose and usefulness and am slowly starting to see what the point of this subject is. I can also see how this fits in with the first assignment and so I say hooray for metadata.
It is obvious from the Milstead and Feldman (1999) reading that while metadata is an awesome thing it is highly problematic when there is no regulation of “how to write down the descriptive information and what to write down” (p.26).
For me one of the biggest problems associated with searching is that you don’t always know what you are looking for. Metadata deals with this quite well, however, it does depend on the fields included in that data.
