All,
I would appreciate your comments concerning a proposal of mine. I have an
idea for a metadata system that envisions a new relationship between website
creators and catalogers. As we all know, just a couple of seconds of
scanning the web for metadata created by website creators shows the need for
catalogers to get involved. Yet, if overworked catalogers are to move into a
leading position and get involved beyond theoretical discussions, there must
be some practical way for them to get substantial help. This proposal
attempts to discuss the practical problems of metadata while giving both
website creators and catalogers the help they need.
This is a shorter version of a more indepth article I am writing.
Thanks to Bernhard Eversberg for his comments and his suggestion that I ask
the dc-general group for comments! See the paper at:
