Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria said Monday at the launch of their

http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/kmc_metadata/index.html
Metadata is a topic that almost invariably comes up when creating or
refreshing a website or intranet.
While basic metadata is routinely captured by most publishing tools,
including content management systems and portals, there is still
widespread confusion about its uses and limits.
Common questions include:
- How important is metadata?
- What metadata should we be capturing?
- How is it created?
- Where and when is it used?
- Should we be implementing simple or complex metadata?
This article explores the fundamentals of metadata, as it relates to
common intranet and website needs.
Standard metadata fields will be explored, and advice given on how to use
metadata successfully, within typical organizational environments.
