I don't know anything more than the web page... I note that it's a
consortium you pay $2,500 per year to join (which is fairly cheap as
these things go, for what that's worth), and that as far as I can
tell from the web pages, they've done little more than make press releases
about how each of the `Six leading industry vendors' will work together.
Oh, actually they mention a white paper, which I couldn't see online.
So it's really rather hard to tell.
I suspect it's actually only very peripherally related to the Dublin Core
stuff, though.
The Wep page also says:
Organizations interested in joining the Metadata Coalition should
contact either of the Council co-chairs: Patricia Nghiem
(408-973-9300) or Katherine Hammer (512-327-6994). For more information
about the META Group, please contact Heather Whiteman (203-973-6700).
