In this Member Q&A article, two people
describe how they create, apply, and use metadata in PDF documents.
The tricky part is how to get authors to enter accurate, consistent
metadata and how to map external metadata provided by commercial
publishers to an internal taxonomy.
This month's entries include articles about innovative
IT projects, using IT to generate revenue, Forrester report on search
engines, and a new, free browser application for personal knowledge management.

Metadata & search
(Face-to-face seminar, October 4, 2006, McLean VA)
Learn how to create and maintain metadata structures
(taxonomies) and expose them for use by a metadata-aware search engine
such as Autonomy's Ultraseek. As an option, you can create your own metadata
using a Web-based Lab and experiment with search engine interface functions.
Lab includes individual mentoring for IT/content teams.
