> How much will this initiative utilize prior standards such as dublin core > (OCLC)? Some of what you point out has been worked on already by others. As far as I can see, the goal is to make the best possible use of these existing ontologies / metadata standards. So it is not about re-inventing the wheel, but about putting the fragmentary solutions that have been created in a multitude of separate projects together. Some of it might be re-used directly, some of it might need to be modified a bit, and some might need to be added from scratch. This is also discussed in one of the discussion threads [1] on their Google group. -- Matthias [1] http://tinyurl.com/2kldy3 -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
