Is "computing" the right subheading?[edit]

Since this article (correctly in my view) begins with a non-computing example, I wonder if the title might not be better as "Metadata (information)". This would keep it in line with entries such as Table.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.107.97.72 (talk) 16:01, 13 April 2005‎

I think it would be fine simply at Metadata. —Michael Z. 2005-05-23 06:19 Z—Preceding undated comment added 06:19, 23 May 2005‎
