Talk:Metadata

Is "computing" the right subheading?
Since this article (correctly in my view) begins with a non-computing example, I wonder if the title might not be better as "Metadata (information)". This would keep it in line with entries such as Table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.107.97.72 (talk) 16:01, 13 April 2005‎


 * I think it would be fine simply at Metadata. &mdash;Michael Z. 2005-05-23 06:19 Z  —Preceding undated comment added 06:19, 23 May 2005‎

Digital Camera Metadata linking across all applications?
I just noticed my Netscape 7.2 program is now automatically displaying metadata for email message composition with digital camera images. By symbolic link?

Two new sections - What is "Metadata" and "Levels"
I agree with the previous comment that the article is a bit disjointed. Much of the content is okay in isolation but as a whole it tends to confuse rather than enlighten. To address this, I have rewritten the Introduction and added two new explantory sections to get the key concepts across. Following this it is useful to talk about Definitions, Types, Uses, Issues etc. but the current content could usefully be revised to remove duplication and make less disjointed. I might have a go at this later. Pete S(talk) 29 March 2007‎
