metadata

[jigneshjsoni]

metadata consists of title,creator, data, description.
Why do we need to create this separately ? Cant we embed this data in a page only ?
To broaden the question why do we need to create metadata in any case, why dont we just put this info in page directly ?

Pls explain.

Thanks

Metadata storage is still not perfect... I agree with you about putting metadata within each corresponding item but, because metadata are usually not mandatory for treatments, they are not oftenly embeddable except, for example, for HTML pages.
There is no standardization about how to embed metadata so products to manage them prefer when they are separated...
