Quotes by Jeffrey Pomerantz (?)

“A Definition of Metadata Now hopefully you can see why “data about data” is not a useful definition of metadata. Data is only potential information, raw and unprocessed, prior to anyone actually being informed by it. Determining what something is about is subjective, dependent on an understanding of that thing, as well as dependent on the available terms. Thus, not only is this definition of metadata not useful, it’s almost meaningless.”
― Jeffrey Pomerantz, Metadata
