Just outta interest, Zope CMF uses DublinCore, and it's quite easy to
add more dictionaries to objects metadata than the 'standard' .. also
making interfaces .. (such as searching) is very easy indeed. There is a
'tool' that even users can deploy (CMF 'Topics') that can collate
material based on DC metadata .. and maintaining the viewers access
rights to documents and listings as well (DublinCore is part of the
Catalog .. the central repository for maintaining metadata and thus
searches without calling the actual object, just a reference to it ..
very fast compared to actually accessing the object in a search for
instance).

Damn I missed the meeting! I had another I had to sign forms at :\ I got
caught between the two.
