Re: NY Property Tax Explorer

 Makx,

I cannot see in our document we saying to people to not publish metadata.
On the contrary, the first BP in the document is to publish metadata.

I think we all agree (in general) about this matter. What we need is a very
good text in the introduction of our document summarizing the text of this
thread.

Best Regards,
Laufer
