Iâ€™ve updated my MSMDX diagram, which illustrates how media and metadata flow to and from different activities around media on the web. The old diagram, which Chris Anderson called â€œone of the more cogent graphics illustrating the new architecture of participation in a remix culture,â€ and Howard Rheingold described as â€œa kind of mandala of technologies of cooperation in many-to-many cultural production,â€ was nice, but it had a few serious problems:

  1. It didnâ€™t include any metadata flows from casual consumption to the other activities. This was a serious oversight, as this â€œattention metadataâ€ is one of the most important and useful sources of information about the meaning of media. I strongly believe that â€œconsumersâ€ need to be viewed as active cultural participants and producers, not just passive receivers of â€œcontent.â€
  2. It didnâ€™t show that each kind of metadata is potentially useful for each of the other activities. This is mostly because of the way I designed the graphic: the arrows were too big to show too many of them.
  3. It wasnâ€™t sufficiently Powerpoint-friendly.

So I attempted to correct these deficencies in the new diagram, which isnâ€™t quite as aesthetically pleasing but is, I think, more useful. Comments and criticism welcome.
