Never been a big fan of metadata, in which hacks are required to categorize their output to make it easier for computers to sort. In my humble view, let the computers do ALL the work if you want to do that sort of exercise.
Therefore I'm slightly dispirited to learn that BBC World Service journalists are required to tag their work, in many languages, under categories "inspire me”, “divert me”, “educate me” and “give me perspective”, or more often “update me” and “keep me on trend”.
