Obstacles

• Unrealistic criteria for metadata schema support
• We had difficulty remembering the intent of the
  criteria
• Depends on what the meaning of the word 'is'
  is."
• The anti-obstacle

19

• 15 minutes with an expert (Sam) is worth more
  than Tannenbaums registered trademark
• There is no universal Enterprise Metadata Schema
• An Enterprise Metadata Schema exposes
  organizational issues
• Dublin Core cuts both ways
