Metadata throwback! I love seeing where we've come from versus where we're going. This is a video created by OCLC research four years ago about metadata and where it was at that time.
"Social Metadata Working Group members completed that led them to believe that it is riskier to do nothing and become irrelevant to our user communities than to start using social media features. This work was published in three reports and a separate executive summary that total over 300 pages. The reports include reviews of sites that supported such social media features as tagging, comments, reviews, images, videos, ratings, recommendations, lists, links to related articles; analysis of a survey of site managers; and recommendations on social metadata features most relevant to libraries, archives, and museums and an annotated reading list of the literature we consulted during our research.
