How about "Governance Realities", Chris ? I don't think we ever came to a
consensus about the differences between metadata in the Public Domain (versus
the Private Sector).
I am making some progress on the empirical identification of {metadata stuff}
though ...

Subject: 4th Australian Metadata Conference - 2011 - Call for Presentations
and Case Studies

Hi all
For the interest of Australian list members (and others) - Call
for Presentations and Case Studies at "Meta 2011 - Business
Realities and Implications". I'll only post this call twice (once
more towards the end date for submissions as a reminder) so please
don't consider it spam.
Don't let the name fool you - realistically we're after
presentations and case studies on any real and practical metadata
implementations, especially in the Gov space but with an eye for
the commercial market too (LOD and SemWeb guys - I'm looking at
you here ;) ). Even a group offering from the W3 community would
be awesome, and IG hat on for a second, a great way to push some
E&O as always.
If you've got something to share, or a great project you'd like to
showcase, let us know! I have every faith that the W3 e-Gov, LOD
and SemWeb IG and WG crowds will come through with some great
offerings. And we don't mind if you are international - we'll be
able to post case studies online, and will have a tweet-up and
live blog happening as well - anything to spread the sweet eGov
open data and web 3.0 word.
Please pass on to any you may think would be intersted!
Happy to answer any questions off list, or point you to the right
people to talk to.
Cheers
Chris.
