Apple have released a white paper on their
Meta-Content Format:
http://www.atg.apple.com/go/ProjectX/mcf.html
>From the white paper:
The goal of MCF is to provide an adequate language for
representing a wide range of information about
content. The content targeted includes web pages, gopher
and ftp files, desktop files, email and structured
(i.e., relational and object oriented) databases, etc.
The corresponding meta-content includes indices such as
Yahoo!, gopher and ftp directory structures, email headers,
data dictionaries, etc.
>From reading the white paper, it seems that it may fit
into the Warwick Framework (but it does seem to support
the concept of 'packages' itself)....
Cheers... Renato
