D-Lib Article - Reflections on a Decade of Metadata Consensus Building. http://www.dlib.org/dlib/july05/weibel/07weibel.html
Rarely do you get a chance to read reflections by someone with as
much experience as Stuart L. Weibel, the Senior Research Scientist with
OCLC, on 10 years of work around Dublin Core and digital metadata
standards. And frank too - he concedes that we've all perhaps been too
optimistic about the 'author contributed' model of metadata submission,
and also that metadata in general has to find its place (if it has one
at all) in the full-text searchable digitized world of the web. Check
out also the great pictures of the bogeys (wheel carriages) that move
entire trains between railway lines of different gauges between China
and Mongolia. - SWL [EdTechPost]
