http://practical-metadata.blogspot.com/2010/02/datagov.html
A blog on making metadata work . by someone in the trenches. Friday, February 12, 2010. Most of my time has been consumed analyzing data.gov data. Please see the data.gov collaboration site. And share you ideas on improving data.gov. I also have an idea there on metadata and asking for help in identifying the right metadata elements for the data.gov template. Hope to see you there!

http://practical-metadata.blogspot.com/2007/03/googles-approach-to-image-metadata.html
A blog on making metadata work . by someone in the trenches. Thursday, March 15, 2007. Google's Approach to Image Metadata. See how Google is trying to get better image search results: http:/ images.google.com/imagelabeler/. This application essentially makes a "game" for you and a random internet partner to label random images to help improve the quality of Google's image search results. Very interesting. One of my friends said, "They've actually made assigning metadata to their images kind of fun!

http://practical-metadata.blogspot.com/2008/11/digging-out-from-avalanche.html
A blog on making metadata work . by someone in the trenches. Thursday, November 27, 2008. Digging out from the avalanche. Been incredibly busy with the new business . head underwater the last few months. Finally clawing my way back to the surface! Though not about metadata, read a great article a few days ago on a security expert named Kaminsky and how he discovered and helped fix a huge security hole in the domain name system. I liked this article. On so many levels - I highly recommend you check it out.

Practical Metadata: Simpler, XHTML Friendly Metadata Format: RDFa
http://practical-metadata.blogspot.com/2007/02/simpler-xhtml-friendly-metadata-format.html
A blog on making metadata work . by someone in the trenches. Friday, February 16, 2007. Simpler, XHTML Friendly Metadata Format: RDFa. Good article on XML.com about RDFa. That current pitfall just bit me when I was researching whether the SBA was going to raise the size limits for small businesses. I had heard there was some recent news on this but the google search was bringing up old stuff from 2004. Very frustrating! Posted by Michael C. Daconta @ 2/16/2007 12:19:00 PM. Links to this post:.
