Questions to Brainstorm Metadata
Think rhetorically!
- What is happening?
- What is its purpose?
- Are there recognizable people, places, and/or things?
- Is there text: signature, title, subtitle, caption, a whole genre of writing?
- Is there a theme?
- How would I describe what I'm looking/examining/touching to others?
