Other awesome uses for metadata:
- Creative Commons licenses in web pages allows you to search using the 
major search engines for resources with an acceptable license to build upon;
- EXIF metadata in photos, without it my life as a photographer would be 
much harder (I can look at a photo and see the focal length, aperture, 
date it was taken and much more).
