Tagging Content

For example, the following video about Elephants [3] may have tags about art, painting and self-portraits, because in the video the elephants are actually painting self-portraits (believe it or not). So in this example, the fact that we tag the video with things other than information about the elephant itself (such as location, age, size, type, gender, keeper, organization) but with things like art, painting or even as detailed as the type of paints and canvas used, provides a perfect example of how one mechanism of creating metadata (namely, tagging in this case) lets us discover things that would not be possible without the use of metadata.

YouTube tags: 

elephant  paint  brush  self  portrait  zoo  charity  smart  wildlife  nature  
flower  talent  trick  art  artist  animal  funny  pet


Audio

ID3 is another form of metadata, particularly used for tagging audio files.
