Mining for Metadata

What is metadata and how can it help you? Metadata is descriptive information about a file, which is embedded within the file itself. It describes the who (application specific information), what (permissions), when (date and times) and where (locations where content is stored) of data and possibly other information depending on the operating environment that created the metadata. Metadata often includes file type, last access date, creation date, last modified date, GPS information and so much more.
