Title:
  Unity Dash puts more emphasis on Internet data then local data

Status in Unity:
  Opinion
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Unity comes with a lot of scopes for Internet based data sources, but
  ignores much of the metadata stored in local files.

  For example, the XMP metadata stored in documents, videos, and images
  is for the most part ignored.

  Only the most basic data that is provided by relatively ancient (posix
  & exif) standards are made visible.

  Unity holds a lot of promise to be a next generation interface to the
  data on our machines, but has mostly stuck with the status quo in
  regards to local data.
