Method and system for evaluating the suitability of metadata

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system (113) for evaluating the suitability of metadata for an item, which is to be archived in a computer readable memory (101). The metadata values annotated to the item are evaluated and a suitability indication (501,503,505) is provided to a user. The suitability indication is provided based on the comparison of actual number of occurrences of the annotated metadata values in the computer readable memory and the number of occurrences desired by the user. The desired number of occurrences is determined on the basis of past searching habits of the user. The suitability indication comprises an individual suitability (501), a union suitability (503) and a combined suitability (505).
