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)....
