Title: Good anecdotes, bad aproach to subject
Review: Since the title sounds quite well, it's not a book to spend time. Although Metadata it's not a bad idea at all, today it's better spending our time on the Semantic Web aproach. For example, for a good introduction on that subject try "A Semantic Web Primer".If you persist on Metadata try reading "Metadata Solutions".Perhaps this book it's only an old fashioned view on a broad subject: information representation. Don't waste your time.
