Editor's Notes
- No absolutes with metadata – all relative to what you need to do with your data. Can be very different for different applications.
- Data facilitates information gathering. It can highlight information, as in the use of facets, or topic maps. These are connections that cannot be done manually in a reasonable amount of time, and therefore are connections that users do not see without the help of machines.
- It is the opposite of the closed world assumption, which holds that any statement that is not known to be true is false.
