• Why is it so difficult to identify academic publisher PDFs? With published MP3 files of audio you get rather good metadata. Take for example an MP3 file I downloaded from Hacker Public Radio available at the bottom of this post. The Full Circle Magazine team added value to the content published by embedding clear and relevant metadata within the MP3 so that even years later, and renaming the file – I still know exactly what this file contains without the need to open/listen to it. The metadata standard for MP3 files is called ID3. I haven’t shown it but there’s even a nice little picture embedded as metadata. Rich, valuable metadata is a good thing to have and easy to provide.
