Module 3: Concept 11: The relationship of data to meta-data

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 is quite a difficult concept. The relationship of data to meta data. ( data about data ) This concept addresses the issue of awareness when it comes to the importance of meta data. The meta data is critical when it comes to the process of accessing, sorting and filing data. As an advanced internet user you should always be aware of the crital nature of the meta data and be constantly refining your methods and techniques when it comes to addressing this information.

Only by being aware of the critical nature of meta data, can the original data be of use and accesible - the loop of communication being closed.

It's difficult to articulate the meaning of this concept.....hopefully I'm close....
