While I will agree that the library community has done some interesting things with information classification in general, I have yet to have seen a good library taxonomy for products and services let alone a full description of associated metadata. If you know of something that I have missed, I would love to hear about it. > But <META> is only going to scale for the most lightweight metadata > applications, and for more complex collections, first-class metadata objects > will be the answer. Can you please explain a little more about "first-class metadata objects" and how they differ from <META> and who is work on those strategies right now? Thanks Mary
