The search for a good metadata value/trouble-of-creation ratio is a worthwhile pursuit providing a payoff to many, whether they're storing their metadata as RDF triples or not. As I wrote in a weblog posting titled "Wanted: Cheap Metadata" last week, "I'd love to see the semantic web movement more concerned with finding and generating usable metadata and less focused on what to do with that metadata come the revolution. FOAF files are fun, but demonstrating the potential value of the semantic web will require more metadata than information about which of our friends also have FOAF files."
