discussion / deployment

Dear Sirs,

I found this e-mail address on http://www.w3.org/RDF/Overview.html

Does the W3C host any mailing list for discussions about metadata
issues?

Is anybody (in W3C or elsewhere, that you might know) addressing the
issues of metadata deployment, i.e. how to get content providers to
add metadata to their documents and how to get search engine makers to
use the added metadata?  What are their incentives, and what is
holding them back?  Since metadata has been discussed for years, and
still is not used by everybody, this should be a major problem, but I
have not been able to find any results or research of this kind.


Lars Aronsson.
