The Benefits of Metadata in SharePoint

I read a great article recently on the benefits of using Metadata in SharePoint that I wanted to share. Its written by Michal Pisarek and can be found here: The Battle for Metadata in SharePoint 2010.

Whether government or military personnel are classifying documents, or whether people at home are sorting through digital music, metadata is becoming a fundamental part of our work and home lives. Within SharePoint itself, metadata is put front and center as an intrinsic component of the entire system. This article talks about how people have already been working with metadata for years, and how it can solve real business issues in SharePoint.
