What is YOUR philosophy in the quest of organization, access, and retrieval of information as it relates to data storage and retrieval?

I believe that all of us who create information in whatever format are responsible for the organization of that creation if we want others to be able to access it, use it or learn from it. An singer who creates music in the bathroom of an empty house has created information but influences no other lives with that creation if it is not recorded (documented), managed (cataloged) and shared. If it is recorded and managed by the artist or an entity representing that artist, then it must cataloged or tagged in such a way that a fan can locate it whether it is on a commercial music site, a blog or linked from a social networking site.
