Extract

This article will be a Rogue's Gallery of some of the most off-putting jargon in our trade: unfriendly “metadata”, “taxonomy” and “thesaurus” as well as the infamous “interoperability”. We have to learn to live with these tricky characters, however. So why not learn to love them I will try to bring out what is useful about them, as well as facing up to the discomforts.
