Metadata Brings Knowledge Management Full Circle
The concepts behind metadata have been tested
and refined over time, bringing knowledge management methods full circle
to an automated metadata system. Earliest knowledge management efforts
began with the card catalog that allowed library users to look up an
item by title, author, or subject. Other methods of knowledge management
have since included taxonomy, which is a hierarchal classification
system that was first applied to living things, and full-text crawling.
The cards in the catalog are now called meta tags, and the information
on the cards is called metadata. Finally, metadata implementation
becomes automated with the founding of HiSoftware Metadata Server by
Robert B. Yonaitis. HiSoftware Metadata Server combines the concepts of
the card catalog with taxonomy and full-text searching, and manages
metadata for all electronic files.
