"In the pages that follow, I'll be giving you a bird’s eye view of a few independent technologies, each aspiring to get useful metadata back into the Web. ..
We'll start with an explanation of that metadata word (so we can finally quit italicizing it).
Next comes a tour of the platitudes and latitudes of GeoURL, a fun, on-your-site-in-just-ten-minutes META tag that pinpoints your webpage’s real-world location with GPS-style accuracy.
Then we'll check out SMBmeta, a newly launched metadata framework designed to give small businesses their fair share of the Web limelight.
We'll finish up with a macro look at some of the 'Semantic Web' standards favored by the W3C: Dublin Core and RDF — and we’ll show them off a bit with FOAF (Friend of a Friend), an application which leverages both those high-minded efforts. "
