KM World: Computers, conformity and KMDavid Weinberger: Now, how does KM work? In general—and, yes, this is a big generalization—it wants to put information and ideas into boxes so they can be found, shared and leveraged. It can either do this by requiring the user to fill in metadata or by trying to discern the metadata.

The latter is very difficult to do well . . . and, worse, extraordinarily easy to do really badly.
