Class Notes: 9/20/2016

Today we discussed the implementation of metadata into our course. The way in which we categorize our annotated bibliographies and built environment analyses should be well-thought and easily identifiable. Essentially, one should organize their texts for ease of access. The tags and categories used for a project will be unique and individual to each student, thus creating an individualistic identifier to the subject that the project describes. For example, specific tags that we should utilize when submitting annotated bibliographies could include AB1-3, AB lastnamefirsmiddle, atlsprf16h, subjects, etc. When tagging the built analysis, think about including tags such as historical, cultural, and political. Eventually, some assignments will overlap and interrelate when categorizing and creating tags.

In our constantly evolving and increasingly-dependent world on technology, metadata is becoming extremely prominent on social media. Hashtags such as the #blacklivesmatter movement illustrate the powerful potential that an identifier could attain throughout various medias. Additionally, businesses have created campaigns that utilize hashtags in order to gain public support and awareness. Ultimately, in present day, metadata has drastically been incorporated into everyday life as illustrated by social media communication.
