When reviewing the syllabus for more search ideas I found "meta data tagging" for Assignment 4. I didn't know anything about this term so decided to add to today's blog.
As usual the Wikipedia entry came up first. It defined meta data tag as a descriptor used to find information on web searches. Since I always get a Wikipedia entry when using Google for searches, I am assuming it is well-tagged!
The next two sites listed below were not helpful to my learning. I really wanted to find more information about meta data tagging as related to the assignment so I adjusted my search to also include training materials. The site from noaa was terrific and included many training materials related to writing metadata from courses they had developed. The next site I reviewed was from the national training systems association. This site was really an abstract from an article combining the best of manual and machine tagging of information. It reviewed why tagging was important to the purpose of training and getting timely training material when it is needed.
All in all I feel comfortable after reviewing these sites with what a meta data tag is and why it is used in a training system.
