Best metadata articles of the year so far

John Singer of Mastercard wrote Part 1 and Part 2 of "Metadata Repository Redux" in DM Review Direct. This is the best metadata writing I've read all year; concise (3 pages each) yet rich. Highly recommended; covers the "use cases" for metadata -- "common patterns of process and technology." This man has lived the problem and thought deeply about it. "Twenty-first century metadata management for IT has morphed into knowledge and content management with the goal of capturing, classifying, and categorizing all things IT."

'Nuff said.
