In almost every piece of work I have done in enterprises, there has been a need to deal with metadata. Metadata can mean a number of things .... like for example 'data about data'. for example the number of hits in a search defining data. But in most of the cases I have worked with 'metadata' means supporting data, and is often data that comes from a different source, that may be hard to find, or may need to be specially created for an effort.
Well done piece in the BiPolar blog by Matthew Roche. Which compares metadata to recipe based cooking.
