I did a presentation on Metadata at an AIIM gathering, and felt
completely upstaged (luckily in private afterwards!) by someone who
demonstrated metadata in a very creative way to her non-records,
non-techy people. She got half a dozen to a dozen cans of various kinds
of soup. She asked the student to arrange them in various ways -
alphabetically, by company, by kind of soup, etc. Then she peeled all
of the labels off and asked them to do it again: of course, they
couldn't.
Metadata is the electronic equivalent of soup labels.
