Monthly Column

Each month, I will bring an observation, experience or best practice from the world of metadata to my monthly column. I hope you will find this information useful or at the very least thought provoking which is published by DMReview. The column will focus on the wide variety of topics within metadata including: information architecture, taxonomies, search technology, collaboration, and many others.
