J.B.,
In Karen Coyle's UNDERSTANDING
THE SEMANTIC WEB: BIBLIOGAPHIC
DATA AND METADATA (Library
Technology Reports v.46 #1
January 2010; ALA Publishing),
maps are used at the beginning
to explain the concept of
metadata.
Thanks for this pointer.
The full text of Karen's Chapter 1 (with maps) is available at
http://alatechsource.metapress.com/content/p3022442071g7655/fulltext.html
with more details about her 2010 ALA monograph (and a link for a PDF
version of chapter 1) at:

I have long been a big fan of Karen's, ever since I heard her lecture
at a meeting of the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility
(an early activist group which, like so many others out there, has
lost its organizational energy -- i.e., volunteer labor and a growing
dues-paying membership -- and is right now in the process of planning
its own demise).
Any connection to history of maps is tenuous at best, but still, I'd
like to take this opportunity to plug an important CPSR successor project
http://www.publicsphereproject.org/
which is generating new verve and commitment.
(The relevance to discussion lists such as MapHist is perhaps more
obvious. ;-)
