The infrastructure for supporting metadata of non-html Web objects is not now in place, but will be within the year. It is PICS-ng. The modification of existing PICS specification will result in a system that is interoperable, widely deployed, and will support the specification, creation, and management of a wide variety of metadata, including Dublin Core-style descriptors. In my judgement, investing time and energy in other approaches is redundant and will not likely result in solutions before the PICS technology is mature. stu
