Significance of Metadata,

Friday, September 26, 2008

Metadata is important for many reasons

  • Provides a standardized system to classify and label web content.
  • Supports website maintenance and administration.
  • Improves search relevancy.
  • Provides an audit trail (information about who created the information and when it was created).
  • Helps identify redundant, duplicative, and possibly obsolete content.
  • Identifies similar content so you can establish logical links and other relationships.
  • Allows information to be tracked and assembled government-wide.
