Purpose and benefits

If you have a large website—more than 100 pages—metadata is essential to ensure that your content is organised properly, so that it can be found quickly. The larger the website, the more critical metadata becomes. Without metadata, the website becomes increasingly unusable as more content is included. Metadata includes such things as classification (which deals with how content is organised by subject matter), date of publication, keywords, heading, summary, author name, and copyright.
