About five misconceptions
1) the difference between meta-data and business data;
2) the spelling (metadata, meta-data,meta data);
3) the proliferation of terms like meta-meta-data, meta-meta-meta-data, and so on;
4) the use of the term meta-model;
5) meta-data do not need to be normalized.

The terms meta-data and metadata have been used, misused, and abused to the point that the real meaning is totally unclear and may even be unknown.\  These terms are an excellent example of the huge lexical challenge that data resource management faces today.\  The confusion about a concept as important as understanding the meaning of all the data in an organization{\textquoteright}s data resource leads to increased data disparity and low quality data that do not fully meet an organization{\textquoteright}s current and future business information demand.
