The following brief review appeared today; the former piece by Guha is
probably familiar to many of you. The second piece referred to from TidBits,
by Matt Deatherage, may or may not be familiar; it is an extended discussion
of HotSauce with some notes on Microsoft's competing Nashville standard.
Both refer -- briefly -- to the Dublin Core work. --pg

Guha, R.V. "Meta Content Format"
(http://hotsauce.apple.com/text/mcf.html)
-- Meta Content Format (MCF) is a proposed language from Apple
Computer for representing meta content (see next cite). This white
paper on MCF specifically mentions that MCF might be one way of
implementing the Dublin Core in computer programs. MCF is also
being submitted to the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)
for adoption as a standard. A related
(http://www.tidbits.com/tb-issues/TidBITS-355.html#1nk3) article
on MCF was published in the electronic journal for Macs, Tidbits.
