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.
