[metadata] what are we aiming to fix?

Dear all,

Many thanks to all of you who have added your name and some material to the metadata TF page on our wiki [1]. If you haven't checked that page in the past few weeks, a visit could be worthwhile.

This Metadata/Synchronisation task force is likely to produce use cases or requirements documents which will in turn influence future standardisation efforts, at the W3C or elsewhere. Before we dive into the creation of such documents however, I think it may be interesting to discuss our motivations in more details.

In other words: what do you think is currently broken?

Our goals seem to be fairly well known and have been documented in many ways, here at the W3C and elsewhere. Multi-screen scenarios. Rich applications. Are these scenarios out of our reach, and if so, why? What is lacking? What is needed? What is broken?

Could TF participants chime in and develop their perspective on this question? Other IG participants are welcome to do so too, of course. I will concatenate and summarise your responses on the wiki.

Thank you,
Olivier
