Educational examples of metadata:

• ID3 tags in MP3s
• Word document authorship information
• Revision history in wikis, Word
• Page view/access date/time 

Patterns in metadata are highly indicitative of an individual--e.g. telephone calling patterns are largely identical for a person, even if the person changes phone numbers.
