Nice summary of discussions and presentations from this workshop held a couple of months ago. The tough questions are not overlooked: participants looked at the return on metadata creation, subjective metadata, and more. Some solid advice in the 'conclusions' section. "User-centered approaches have revolutionized information retrieval, and continue to spur innovation (as in facet-based search/browse interfaces, for example). But the user’s perspective is often lost in metadata debates. How are people actually using metadata? What capabilities does having extensive metadata afford?"
