Advanced Internet users learn to intuitively conceive of any document, file, message or communication as consisting of metadata and data. They then can explore the functions of various communications/information software looking for how that software can assist them in using metadata to enable sorting, processing or otherwise dealing with that data.
This concept obviously involves metadata (data about data - information about information) It also refers to us, the recipient of metadata, attaching our own meta data to it in the way we file and store that information.
The simple act of placing a received email into a designated folder will automatically create an extra form of meta data, making the information easy to access in the future.
