Sarah,
Hi. Just out of interest, and without wanting to be too provocative,
can I ask why you want to do this? What functional requirement does
doing this meet for your end-users?
For example, are there services out there that will make use of this
stuff? Or do you plan on exploiting it internally within your own Web
site search engine?
Apologies for more questions than answers (well, no answers actually!)
but I'm genuinely interested in identifying what people see as the
benefits of doing this kind of thing. And w.r.t. your original
question, my gut feeling is that the likely benefits of sharing
experinces will depend on having a broadly shared set of aims and
objectives in supporting metadata in the first place?
