metadata fantasy land
I secretly want to be able to add metadata to *everything*... I'm thinking of these two arstechnica articles: Metadata, the Mac, and you (John Siracusa, 2001), and "Mac OS X now [as of 10.4] includes support for arbitrarily extensible file system metadata." (John Siracusa, 2005)
somewhat related, but more about spotlight and metadata:
- safari adding custom metadata
- spotlight on the cli (esp. mdls which shows all the metadata associated with a file)
- mdls at oreilly, from mac os x tiger in a nutshell
- Tiger: "you no longer need to use Apple’s special CpMac and MvMac commands"
- daring fireball on spotlight. before Tiger was released.
