If this all sounds  dry and uninteresting, actually it is really quite revealing.<\/p>\n<p>SNIA has a vested interest in selling storage systems, but it has put  this aside in the storage growth example in the executive summary: &#8220;The  current process is broken, does not scale, is pure overhead, and  paradoxically not where any business organization wants to be spending  its time and money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next we learn that not everyone is a digital librarian: &#8220;In 2008,  recognition of the role and importance of metadata was elevated. Now,  not only is all ESI (electronically stored information) discoverable,  but its metadata may also be required. IT systems and business  applications were not designed to fully utilize and preserve metadata.  Changes in IT and storage practices are needed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When we get to the terminology, it&#8217;s not short dictionary definitions,  but well researched, and often anecdotal, collections of views on a term.
