Hi Neo,

Please read my previous post. This time, don't stop after "I doubt if there is such a method", but read on. Pay particular attention to the parts where I explain that being data or metadata depends on context.

If I know the context, I can easily distinguish data from metadata. If I don't know the context, I can't.

Best, Hugo
