Web Page Metadata Still Matters

Yes, I know that all but one of the internet search engines ignore the Metatag but that does not mean that we should stop documenting our pages. When the day comes, I have argued that it will not be anytime soon, that we need to convert our content to an XML framework then we will need to have this content readily available. Dublin Core, RDF, RAS, and many other technologies continue to evolve and push us toward the day when we tag our content effectively. It would nice to simple run a conversions program that reads your HTML files and generates the RDF metadata automatically. Heck, if nothing else do it because no else is doing it and you will be able to smirk at them as they toll away and you are sitting on the beach.
