Welcome to the New View of Metadata
Excellent article in the Business Integration Journal (November/December, 2005) by Michael Blechar. The title of the article is What Metadata is and why you should care. Michael is the Gartner expert that works on metadata and until this article mainly focused on the traditional view of metadata. However seems to have seen the light since he defines metadata as:
Metadata is information regarding the characteristics if any artifact, such as name, location, perceived importance, quality or value to the enterprise, and its relationships to the other artifacts that an enterprise has deemed worth managing.Bravo, I could not have said it better…

Todd, is the article available online? I'm guessing not, but never hurts to ask...
