Abstract
Metadata—as any archivist, librarian, or information professional knows—is critically
important. If you can understand and control metadata, you can control the knowledge
discipline, even those you do not know anything about, according to Robert D. Montoya,
assistant professor of information and library science at Indiana University Bloomington
(IUB).
Metadata can be lethal: “We kill people based on metadata,” said the former head of the
Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, retired US Air Force General
Michael Hayden.
