Demystifying Metadata
In This Edition of Trip-M

       In the past few months the idea of using metadata to help bring order to the Web and other large digital information repositories has been gaining momentum. What does 'metadata' mean from a content perspective? And what should a content producer or information manager be thinking about when they start on the hard work of gleaning out the metadata from their content store. We've collected links to some fundamental resources about how to catalogue metadata - study them and you'll be on your way to a more consistent approach to generating information about your information.
