The Metadata Challenged - IMDb IMDB is a great Web site, but from a Metadata standpoint, it faces challenges. The data is not structured well – relating items together is difficult.
The Metadata Challenged - YouTube • World’s most popular music service • Content is totally unstructured • Search and navigation for music is cumbersome
Pure Genius • Apple Genius recommendations based on related data • Consistent user experience across the world • Relating local and global content
