Collaboration and Metadata

Over the past year, we have been contributing to an effort known as Collaborative Computing which allows multiple users to update, post, and manage content in the online environment. The interesting thing is the major role metadata is playing in the various components of collaboration. Lists and Document Libraries have been redefined by the addition of metadata. The point is not the details of value-add but the fact that metadata is changing the way people think about collaboration which is exciting. By the way, collaboration may be the next success story in the history of metadata.
