January 8, 2009
The metadata quandary for legal eagles will stick like Kentucky mine run off. If you want to make sure your Word documents are metadata free, you will want to read “How to Remove the Hidden Metadata from Word Document” here. A slightly more interesting exercise is to aim a search engine’s content acquisition system at shared folders and browse what the spider catches in its digital web. If you think metadata are a liability, check out the goodies you harvest. Download any desktop indexing system that can access your network shares. Now you know why eDiscovery is so important and often quite interesting for those paid to pour through metadata.
