  Headers and META information in HTML - Doc Alex
There is a META information reserved for specifying whether the page is to be indexed by search engines or not, and whether search engines are allowed to follow its links or not.
Other META information tags are useful, and very used, like the ones allowing redirection and refreshing control, or the validity length of a page.
Several other META information tags have been proposed, but unfortunately there is no real standardisation yet, despite some good projects, like the one from Dublin Core.

 National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure: Archives
Information sources, including scientific data generated by simulations, observational data, standard reference test case results, published scientific algorithms for analyzing data, published research literature, data collections, and domain specific databases are a few requirements that currently drive the new information-based computing phenomenon.
Meta information or metadata about data objects can be internal to the object (i.e., it can be part (or even whole) of it) or external and formed separately from the data object.
The schema meta information provides a means of defining physical characteristics of the schema of where to store the schema and who will be the owner of the schema and other such information.

 META element in HTML   (Site not responding. Last check: )
META is a general element for document meta-information -- that is, for information about the document that cannot be expressed by LINK, BASE or the other HEAD elements.
Sometimes you want a header to contain information that would ordinarily be returned by the server as a field in the HTTP headers.
Additional information about these special uses for META are found at http://vancouver-webpages.com/META/.

 Enabling Dissemination of Meta Information in the Usenet Framework   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The second approach, i.e., adding meta information to documents that are already being disseminated, is discouraged in the realm of Usenet newsgroups.
Moreover, meta information transported as part of the overview data should be accessible by all clients that are in line with current Usenet standards (see below for experimental verification).
This information is then inserted by the news server into the overview data sent to clients, as shown in Figure 4.

 A GENERAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE META-INFORMATION AND CATALOGS IN DIGITAL LIBRARIES
A major problem confronting researchers attempting to understand the issues of meta-information and efficient access to information is the lack of a general framework in which meta-information and catalogs may be usefully modeled.
In the context of scientific databases, for example, Bretherton and Singley [7] define metadata (our meta-information) to be ``information that makes data useful'' and view metadata as information describing the nature of the data and the set of interpretations that may be placed on the data.
In these terms, we view meta-information as information that is (1) stored in the electronic catalogs of digital libraries (DL's); (2) that models both documents and user queries; and (3) whose main purpose is to support efficient user access to information in the documents of a DL.

 Shirky: In Praise of Evolvable Systems
In the early '90s, Internet population was doubling annually, and the most serious work on new protocols was being done to solve the biggest problem of the day, the growth of available information resources at a rate that outstripped anyone's ability to catalog or index them.
These various protocols and services shared two important characteristics: Each was pursuing a design that was internally cohesive, and each operated in a kind of hermetically sealed environment where it interacted not at all with its neighbors.
As with the early Web, the 'glue' protocol subsumes the other protocols and produces a kind of weak integration, but weak integration is better than no integration at all, and it is far easier to move from weak integration to strong integration than from none to some.

 ComMentor
For example, depending on the context set by the user, the browser can decide to retrieve annotations from certain meta information servers for every document the user looks at, and display a version of the document in which annotations to various segments are shown at their appropriate position in the text.
This tool is a generic meta viewer which can be used in a variety of contexts to get "preview" information faster than it is possible with a full document-view window.
The merging of the document and the annotations is done by a set of procedures based on redundant information and minimal length tree descriptors which uniquely identify the position in a document and which are designed to be maximally robust against change of the underlying document.

 The global structure of an HTML document
At times, such additional information may be critical, as when meta data may be specified in different formats.
Heading information may be used by user agents, for example, to construct a table of contents for a document automatically.
element may be used by authors to supply contact information for a document or a major part of a document such as a form.

 Enhancing Search Engines
Meta search is a kind of search engine that are currently attracting attentions of many web search engine's designers.
And more importantly, the meta search engine can filter out the duplicate items (if it is implemented) which saves users a lot of time, since a user has to do it by himself if he goes to different search engines to gather information.
For example, Z39.50 Information Retrieval Protocol [3] can be used to implement the communication between interfaces (client) and search engines (server).

Groups which are in need of a "name lookup" protocol should follow the development of these new working groups rather than using SIP for this function.
For the latter case, the client must determine the protocol, port and IP address of a server to which to send the request.
Standards Track [Page 61] RFC 2543 SIP: Session Initiation Protocol March 1999 6.29 Record-Route The Record-Route request and response header field is added to a request by any proxy that insists on being in the path of subsequent requests for the same call leg.

 Case study: Meta information, portalization, user interface
Meta information is here used to denote information about other information.
The name is derived from the fact that the meta information is embedded in the zip-file common in both the BBS world and in ftp-space (DIZ stands for "Description In Zip".
While it is generally recommended that elements contain information about the present resource only, this element may contain a date, creator, format, identifier, or other meta information for the second resource when it is considered important for discovery of the present resource; recommended best practice is to use the Relation element instead.

 WWW'95: Conceptual Analysis of Resource Meta-information
This paper discusses recent developments in the area of information resource discovery services, and proposes the use of methods from the mathematical theory of concept analysis to process and interactively browse a large information space.
CLIF provides a storage-optimal representation of order-theoretic lattices of conceptual classes for networked information resource meta-information, consisting of (the inverse relationships for) two generator monotonic functions, from the posets of objects and attributes to the lattice of conceptual classes, and a successor matrix which represents the subtype relationship between conceptual classes.
Too little information will fail to meet some purposes; too much information is a burden for systems and is costly to generate and maintain.

 Meta-Information
Notably, the geophysical sciences community understands meta-information to mean an abstract computer-based representation of information from the physical world, such as maps of land usage and soil erosion, rather than as a derivative of information which originated on a computer.
Figure 3 shows the results of a whois++ lookup on the same information as the above, from a whois++ implementation written by the author.
Since meta-information pertaining to networked resources may be made available via the same protocols as the data itself, it can be surmised that meta-information is often also data.

 TUNES Migration Protocol
That protocol must work on any media and developed for use on any transfer mode, such as e-mail, floppies, and serial line transfer.
The protocol must have some way to express identity in a distributed space over time, so that requirements are non-ambiguous.
Because every medium has its own characteristics, the protocol should be modular and open, so that what signature method will be used to identify the message or its author, what error-detection and error-correction sub-protocol will be used, what compressed or depressed data encoding will be used, etc., can be independently varied.

 META - Metadata

 Meta Object Protocol
The core of the Metaobject Protocol is to replace the most basic constructs of a language (in the case of OO languages, this would consist of things like how polymorphism is defined, how to treat inheritance (multiple and single), etc.) and make them so they can be configured and changed.
It's a Meta Object Protocol, and garbage collection seems more low level and wider in scope than that (in other words those effects are system wide, not really [replacing] one or more of these objects with specialized ones to affect specific aspects of the implementation of specific parts of their program.
Another source of information on MetaClass programming and Meta Object Protocols is the book "Putting Metaclasses to Work".

Meta Information Module (MiM) is the reference core of the Global Groundwater Information System (GGIS); it contains meta information on organisations, people, documents international projects and tools.
At this moment, the information on international projects is still to be collected and stored in the MIM; this "project" place is meant primarily for meta information on transboundary regional projects such as SADC, Iullemeden, Guarani, etc, but also for global groundwater-related projects.
That is however just a small piece of information that is available to the international groundwater community.

 JEP-0095: Stream Initiation   (Site not responding. Last check: )
As the Jabber protocols are extended beyond basic messaging and presence, the need has arisen for a generic protocol that can be used to negotiate content streams between any two entities.
A profile is a collection of information that describes the reason for and structure of the stream data, including what the data represents and what stream protocols are expected to be supported.
If a profile specifies only a single stream protocol that MUST be supported (even if others MAY also be supported), the "fneg" for the stream protocol may be omitted from the initial ; the receiving entity then assumes the stream protocol that MUST be supported is the one to use.
