Great comment. I worked in the library industry for a very short while. An industry whose specialists are all trained metadata experts can't figure this stuff out. Of course, that is also part of the problem, but it isn't going to get easier in industries where people don't understand metadata. I lost interest when the OP hand-waved managing the metadata as just a trivial practical concern that somebody would surely magic into existence. These problems are why companies like Attensity[0] exist today. [0] http://www.attensity.com/ http://www.attensity.com/
