Metacrap
: Putting the torch to seven straw men of the meta-utopia
was an essay written by
Cory Doctorow
in
2003
about the
losing battle
against including--and relying upon--
accurate metadata
in the
public Internet
.
The key points are both that
people are too lazy or too ignorant to care
and that, even if everyone were to put the effort into labeling data,
hierarchies are subjective
.
