At the risk of provoking a Friday afternoon discussion at the start of
the week, has anyone else read the OLDaily section on metadata?
"Metadata
This was intended to be a note to myself, partially to comment on
discussion list metadata and partially to frame some throughts for my
talk in Colorado in August. But it makes some points that bear wider
consideration, and in particular, two principles of metadata: metadata
for a given entity should never be stored in more than one place; and
metadata for a given entity should not contain metadata for a second
entity. By Stephen Downes, Half an Hour, July 7, 2005 "
