Among other new to me metadata analysis fundamentals, Matt Blaze's identifying metadata as `context' explained the huge lever gained by big-Data collection and long term storage. Comments' to this Wired story brough me to the somewhat excited but thoughtful link: "...Still evolving technically, the secret national security goal is to build, over time, a detailed mathematical 3-D model of every citizen’s (metadata) patterns for behavior analysis and prediction purposes. How do I know this? Simple, two Israeli firms with deep Mossad connections, Narus (now wholly-owned by Boeing) and Verint, drop-dead technical experts in behavior prediction modeling, are closely working with the NSA, DHS, etc. Narus’ corporate website home page clearly touts its advanced analytics as “Fusing together hundreds of data dimensions for deep, focused insight and control.” “they are intent on making every conversation and every form of behavior in the world known to them.” -Edward Snowden http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/opinion/forum-freedom-on-the-rocks-tyranny-versus-terrorism/article_85f42746-9c81-598c-9e64-0db3ee978191.html http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/opinion/forum-freedom-on-th...
