The Man who Invented Metadata

The Man who Invented Metadata 10/29/2003 12:12 AM
I just gave a talk at the first Ascential user conference. I was talking mainly about how metadata is rooted in human desire. Afterwards, Bernard Plagman approached me and struck up a conversation. He apparently is the person who coined the term "metadata" in an article in 1971. Back when he wrote Data Dictionary/Directory Systems (Wiley, 1974), it was necessary to argue that metadata ought to be managed the same way data is. And now, a short 30 years later, metadata is the new data....

Cory Doctorow: Great history of the early days of Japanese typewriters:

The time was ripe for a Japanese typewriter, but the daunting structure of the written language, with its multiple scripts and thousands of characters, stymied early attempts to develop one. Into the breach stepped inventor Sugimoto Kyota (1882-1972), often hailed as the Edison of Japan. Sugimoto began by studying the relative frequency of individual kanji, eventually arriving at a minimum set of some 2,400 characters (unabridged Japanese character dictionaries list as many as 50,000).

Time Wonders, Who Invented Warchalking?
and Other Howlers

Time Wonders, Who Invented Warchalking?
and Other Howlers 11/10/2003 10:55 PM
In a short piece on warchalking, writer fails the test: The author of this article in Time magazine finds a warchalk symbol (so he says...I've yet to see one in the wild), and writes a good, short piece about it. Good until he notes, Nobody knows who invented warchalking. This reminds me of some of the lines from my favorite canceled sci-fi animated series, Futurama, set 1,000 years in the future. We're in the present, so I type who invented warchalking into Google, and most of the matches explain precisely, as is well known, Matt Jones invented it. He designed the sign, spread the meme, posted a PDF with the graphics in it. I wrote about him and warchalking for The New York Times, in fact. Hilariously, the 2nd match on Google right now is this Time article. They have a lot of inbound links does Time magazine. Time published a huge package of wireless stories about a week ago. They come off as a little bland to me, because I know everything that's in them. To an audience that knows little or nothing about Wi-Fi, I'm sure this sounds much more exciting. But it reads like circa 2002 newspaper coverage. The articles all have some missed notes, too, mostly in the technical and statistical details. In an article detailing business use of Wi-Fi, this statistic is thrown in: a surprisingly small number of U.S. firms that have installed wi-fi networks. Fewer than 5% of U.S. workers use them today, according to an estimate by Gartner, a high-tech research firm. Unfortunately, the author has confused five percent of workers with five percent of companies. In this News.com article from a few days ago, the reporter presents an array of statistics on business use, including overall industry sales figures, and cites Jupitermedia's number: 57 percent of businesses are using Wi-Fi already to some degree. (Damn, I even know that magazine reporter; we worked on our college paper together.) Given that companies like Microsoft and Novell have thousands of workers -- basically everyone with a laptop -- using Wi-Fi all the time all day everywhere on campus, that five percent of all workers is the mobile, laptop-connected five percent. What percentage of U.S. workers have computers at all? What percentage have laptops? That would better contextualize the number. Maryanne Murray Buechner's pieces, including this FAQ, are quite excellent, offering sensible accurate advice...

Galen Hunt spent his 1995 school vacation working. It wasn't the usual student job, such as flipping burgers or canning tuna. For his summer job, Hunt worked at Microsoft and invented the first Microsoft prototype for streaming media over the Internet. "This is my story," explains Hunt. "About the third day of my internship I met Rick." At the time, Rick Rashid was the manager of the Operating Systems Group, and is now the senior vice president of Microsoft Research (MSR).

Too many Christmas lights?

Too many Christmas lights? 12/10/2003 07:56 PM
Is there such a thing as too many Christmas lights? I love seeing lavish displays of lights at Christmas time. Some folks like a few old-fashioned Christmas lights and some like to deck the halls in a blaze of glory (this one boasts 700,000 lights). And how much does it cost to run a fabulous display?
