I've heard some people say that the markup is by itself metadata, that an element's name is metadata, because it describes the element's content: <reporter> <-- This is metadata John Smith <-- This is data </reporter> Isn't this wrong? Comparing to what I learned from Dublin Core, metadata is data too. It's not just the name of a property. I'd say it's the element's context that decides whether <reporter> is a data or a metadata element. <reporter> <-- This is just the name of a property John Smith <-- This may be metadata, depending on the element's context </reporter> Is this the right way to think about metadata in XML?
