If your business makes things, digital or analogue, and you don’t provide metadata for them, you will become irrelevant in next decade or two (if you’re lucky).

Objection:People don’t have time to create the metadata, or the skills or tools. This costs money you know.

Objection:My intellectual property is in/is my content and it’s metadata. It’s our business, why would we give it away.

Response:Don’t. Make it part of your business to sell it then. At the moment if people want to work with you, they’re probably having to scrape your website.

If you create and publish metadata and let people know what they are allowed to do with it, people will make new and amazing things you’ve never dreamt of.

The move towards a machine readable web of data, and social and algorithmic software to consume it, is as unstopppable as a river.

I had a first play with the Guardian APIs yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised by how simple and effective they were...
And, being the kind of childish individual who still gets kicks out of looking rude words up in the dictionary, I decided to use the API to examine changes in obscenity in the last 10 years.

A few observations:Swearing is growing slowly year-on-year, across the board;Unusually, in 2001, swearing stayed more-or-less level. Bastard declined after 2001 - probably an after-effect of 9/11, after which most other swearing grew;Wank is massively underperforming over the last decade, whilst cock is flat;Shit has grown disproportionately and steadily since 2005, whilst fuck has gone as far as it can;

In a bid to retain some sense of self-respect, I'll for now ignore the fact that this graph has achieved a readership that dwarfs anything else I've written in my career to date, and focus instead on how I did it.

Data is a new material we’re only starting to learn to mould and sculpt. What we’re making now will seem as trivial as early experiments with plastic.
