Geoffrey Nunberg of Berkeley's School of Information takes a critical look at Google Book Search's problems with metadata and classification. He says:"...you need reliable metadata about dates and categories, which is why it's so disappointing that the book search's metadata are a train wreck: a mishmash wrapped in a muddle wrapped in a mess."
