TDAN Online Article on the MetaCard

Organizational information sources exist  throughout the enterprise and the vast majority of these sources are web enabled.  Integration with disparate web pages has traditionally been done by search engines that utilize the metadata or the embedded text within the content itself.  Unfortunately, more and more information sources are being built as dynamic applications versus static web pages.  Dynamic applications create a problem for traditional search engines due to the inability to spider the data. This requires new forms of integration technologies.  One such technology is the “MetaCard” which is built upon the library science card catalog model.  The MetaCard is based on the Dublin Core metadata standard and allows traditional search technology to work without additional layers of integration effort.  This article will review an implementation of the MetaCard technology in a Fortune 500 company to resolve the problem of universal asset integration
