I guess that illustrates my point…. years of conversations….
but what would be the absolute minimum that would catalogue an object, so that it could be *found*? There’s a place between no data at all and an endlessly extendable full dictionary of metadata, that I’d like to find.
Is there not a single simple standard that says the following x items of metadata should be presented for every digital object *as a minimum*?
I’ve probably missed it (I have a tendency to ignore the complex) but everything I read and look at talks about how this or that scheme can be extended thus and hence instead of a sensible common denominator there are endless layers of overlap, leading to very few common mappable data points.
Just saying…
/me goes off to have another look at schema.org
