Proper meta tagging will allow our content to be neatly organised and easy to search. Proper meta tagging implies neat categories, which may be crossed by other neat categories. Internet is a huge mess of data, most of them are very poorly referenced. We'll become a serious reference if our content is cleanly tagged, hence searchable with complex queries.
Very well stated.
[[list of museums in Australia with a chinese flag hanging above the entrance door]] is of no use.
Search "[[museum]]" where "[[country]] is 'australia'" and "[[topic]] is 'China'" is useful.
To be useful, meta-tags must be large rather than very specific. Query gives the specificity.
My intuition as well. Since we also have full-text searching, one can easily search for "museum" "Australia" "chinese flag" or any such narrow target.
