dc.description.abstractSince starting my work here at OpenUCT in mid-November 2013, I've been using the word ‘metadata' quite a lot (sometimes also spelled ‘meatdata' at first attempt). Say this word to a given member of the general public and you will usually elicit the following response: a slight glazing or crossing of the eyes, accompanied by dull incomprehension, and a tentative "What's that?" This is not to say that these people don't know what metadata is or don't use it themselves on a daily basis; there simply comes a point where conceptions and definitions diverge from everyday experience, and seem to enter the magical realm of fairy dust and crop circles.en_ZA
