Getting meta about metadata: Connecting content to business transactions, part 1
When we think about keeping track of information, we usually start with when we save or capture it. We capture data all the time, such as when we upload photos of kids, a vacation view, a restaurant dish we tried, or some other reason for bragging on Facebook. To find a particular photo, our mental database uses information about what we’re looking for. We can then skim thumbnails for the tiny green soccer jersey, white sandy beach, or monstrous bacon cheeseburger that we remember from the picture we’re trying to find.
