| description | Topical metadata are simultaneously hailed as building blocks of the semantic Web and derogated as spam. The significance of the metadata controversy depends on the technological appropriateness of adding them to Web pages.

The vast majority of Web pages, however, exist in the open Web, an environment that challenges the application of legacy information retrieval concepts and methods. |
