- Gartner Clarifies the Definition of Metadata, 2H10-1H11

- Here's another reason why metadata matters
- The ShowYou video app puts metadata (or the lack thereof) in the spotlight, by Mac Slocum. O'Reilly Radar, 18 April 2011. "... The area where metadata is most important, however, is video. That content is locked within formats that are generally inaccessible to search spiders and aggregation bots. There's no way to know about the insightful perspective captured at a clip's 2-minute mark or the funny pratfall 45 seconds in. Left unaddressed, most video clips have the discovery prowess of a "DSC0000.jpg" file. That's why a random video still and a vague title won't cut it. We need metadata to extract the value and explain why a clip is worth viewing..."

- How to apply Semantic Web in Enterprises
- By Peter Reiser. Reiser 2.0 April 6, 2011. "Over the last three years, Oracle/Sun participated in a research project called Kiwi which ended in March 2011.

Oracle's (Sun) role in the Kiwi project was to validate if and how Social Semantic technologies can be used in large enterprises..."

- Metadata isn't a chore, it's a necessity
- Laura Dawson on how metadata keeps publishers relevant, by Jenn Webb. O'Reilly Radar, 24 January 2011. "Employing metadata as part of a publishing process feels like a completely different world from traditional print publishing. On first glance, categories and descriptors have little connection to flowing prose. However, that's an ill-advised perspective. As digital publishing grows exponentially — and discovery gets harder — metadata's role becomes even more important. In the following interview, Laura Dawson, content chief at Firebrand Technologies and a speaker at TOC 2011, explains how a focus on metadata will help publishers stay viable both now and down the road..."

- Will Linked Data be the Next Dublin Core?
- by Jeffrey Beall. Metadata - How a Cataloger Views and Interprets the World, July 11, 2010. "... DC enthusiasts are taking the same approach with linked data that they used with Dublin Core. They are trying to push it on the library community with little or no explanation of its value or need. They have not explained why linking at the word level is better than linking at the document level and why libraries need to do it..."

- Yahoo! Announces Common Tag: Like The Meta Keywords Tag, But Even Better
- by Vanessa Fox. Search Engine Land, June 15, 2009. "Yahoo! recently announced their role in creating and supporting Common Tag, a new semantic tagging format. Yahoo! says that Common Tag makes 'web content more discoverable' and enables the community to 'create more useful applications for aggregating, searching, and browsing the web'. Their blog post mentions that they want to accelerate the structuring of the web, which aligns with their SearchMonkey launch last year, which they said was, in part, an attempt to encourage the use of structured data on the web. This brings to mind a few questions..."

- I Never Metadata I Didn't Like
- By Vin Crosbie. The ClickZ Network, April 18, 2008. "How I wish I had a dollar for every broadcaster or publisher who complains about not having more online traffic but who hasn't placed metadata on his sites. I'd be rich! The way the vast majority of consumers find information online is via search engines, and metadata is a major factor in what content search engines display to consumers..."

- Metadata: The stuff of web 2.0
- Reality Check - commentary, by Michael Daconta. Government Computer News 17 March 2008. "... What can government organizations learn from the rise of Web 2.0 metadata? The most obvious lesson is that the value of data is not inherent in the data itself.

- DRAFT 2: Kernel Metadata and Electronic Resource Citations (ERCs)
- DCMI Kernel Metadata Task Group, August 23, 2007. "Abstract: Kernel metadata is a small prescriptive vocabulary designed to support highly uniform but minimal object descriptions for the purpose of orderly collection management. The Kernel vocabulary, based on a subset of the Dublin Core (DC) metadata element set, aims to describe objects of any form or category, but its reach is limited to a small number of fundamental questions such as who, what, when, and where. The Electronic Resource Citation (ERC), also specified in this document, is an object description that addresses those four questions using Kernel and other metadata elements."

- Metadata for All: Descriptive Standards and Metadata Sharing across Libraries, Archives and Museums
- by Mary W. Elings and Günter Waibel. First Monday, volume 12, number 3, March 2007. "Abstract - Integrating digital content from libraries, archives and museums represents a persistent challenge. While the history of standards development is rife with examples of cross-community experimentation, in the end, libraries, archives and museums have developed parallel descriptive strategies for cataloguing the materials in their custody. Applying in particular data content standards by material type, and not by community affiliation, could lead to greater data interoperability within the cultural heritage community. In making this argument, the article demystifies metadata by defining and categorizing types of standards, provides a brief historical overview of the rise of descriptive standards in museums, libraries and archives, and considers the current tensions and ambitions in making descriptive practice more economic..."
