Why do we want to KNOW STUFF? It’s about finding and processing the information we need for whatever it is we eventually need to DO and absorb.Peter Drucker once said, “Knowledge is like the sound of the tree that falls in the forest when no one is there: it doesn’t exist unless people interact with it”.
How many of you use iTunes or an MP3 player or Windows Media player to store, organise and play music files?Y’know all that information you can see – the name of the artist, the cover art, the genre, whether or not you can copy it or are restricted by DRM?
Thank metadata for all that. Metadata is data about data. If you use iTunes and right click on an MP3 track, you will get to see all the metadata encoded into the audio file. You can even use iTunes to ADD that data to audio files.Metadata allows us to organise, filter, and sort information. When you do a search – on your computer or on a search engine like Google or YouTube – it is metadata that allows you to find what you’re looking for.
